Bitter, party of one?

If you look at the technological (and subsequent commercial) advances that came out of the original Apollo program (and subsequent NASA projects), you wouldn't question what NASA (or going to the moon) has done for anyone.

Yes, I did bad in a class so I got mad at the whole subject.

I tried to wing it because the curve was so easy and failed at it because it was harder than I thought it would be.

working at the Rocket Ranch.

Not so good.. right now were not launching a thing....We keep postponing the launch due to a Hydrogen Control valve for the External Tank (Rocket Speak for a bad fuel valve). Now the current shuttle launch date is the 12th of March. Plus we lost a Rocket yesterday carrying a $273 million Orbiting Carbon Observatory satellite. Not good..but I'm doing my best and It'll get better.

NASA has and continues to give us critical life saving medical technology and other things we depend on today.. while at the same time generating it's own income through patents and other commercial service. Not to mention all of it's jobs and the jobs it creates through various industries (like the cell phone industry). It's budget is less than 1% of the total federal budget. If your going to start complaining I can think of better places to start.

ok?  so why cant we halt it for like 5 years or so?

maybe we should put the money in education first for now, then go back to that?

///by halt i dont mean the research stuff, just the shuttle missions.

Imagine how much further advanced humanity would be if more of that $50 billion that you know what is given was given to NASA.

The space missions will essentially be halted for 5 years. After April of 2010, the shuttles will be retired and they'll be moving to Project Constellation.

There is also an intangible return. NASA has inspired generations of scientist. Forget about the revenue return the program already brings in.
