DUmmies make a 180 on the space program.

Seriously, when I was in high school in the early 60's, the space program was just gearing up. I think I had read every science fiction book in our school library....I know I read all the ones with anything about space, space travel and far away planets etc.. Being a teenager and playing with gas powered model airplanes had peeked my interest in all things above the ground. I remember thinking that by the year 2,000 I would be 55 years old and surely by then a man would have been to Mars and back. We are farther away from Mars now than we were then....

Until a man puts a foot print on it and throws down an empty beer can or two it ain't been explored.

We're not, and we won't. American space exploration is ending, thanks to religious fanatics who keep forcing their book of fractured fairy tales on us.

No you idiot dummy. We are not exploring space anymore so we can use the money to feed, clothe, house, and give free cell phones to parasites like yourself. Ya all want to fund NASA? Fine... I agree. Let's fund them out of the welfare money budgeted for you parasites.

Well, Joe Bacon, America is going to boldly go to hell in a handbasket because of government tit suckers like you.

You are correct sir. It is now a question of priorities. Does this nation fund a bunch of parasites or does this nation fund a space exploration program. Last I looked, on some balance the budget site back in 2003/4/5, we spent well over 350 billion on welfare alone. There is a reason that Europe hasn't made it to the moon.

I fear for the future of what was once the best country in the world.
