stop derailing your own thread. if you don't like it anymore, stop posting.

if you post, stay on point. it's an author's duty.

i just find it fascinating (picture spock pronouncing that) that a fiscal conservative like yourself linked the article. normally you'd be against government spending billions for little to no apparent benefit.

who'd think a libtard like me would think obama should have gone further to cut wasteful government spending?

Hey, I just decided to stop arguing with you. Nothing is "derailed". Those of us who think the manned space program is worth something believe that the president is wrong.

The space program HAS had benefits. Many of them are less related to the destination than the challenges in getting there.

And I didn't call you any names, so don't call yourself one either.

picture a space station shaped pallet of $100 bills burning up before crashing into the pacific. with virtually no increase in human knowlege as a result.

meanwhile the james webb telescope probably won't get built.

that's the cost of manned space flight.
