When the rickety old shuttle lands for the last time, can we put the NASA boondoggle out of its misery?

Question

My leftist friends can sit this one out, I know they recoil in horror at the thought of government (and the burden on productive people) shrinking. So, my "conservative" friends, are you ready to support putting this ridiculous boondoggle NASA down and saving billions? Yes, this is a direct test of your claims that you "want government off your back".

Answer 1

Well, I've always thought, even as a kid, that it was a waste of money going into space when we had problems on earth that weren't dealt with. (I went to high school with Chris Ferguson.) Never understood the appeal of space. But, I must say, that I'm kinda sad it's ending. Don't know why. I guess I'm a sentimentalist. (I'm into the Royals too even though I wouldn't want them here.)

Answer 2

i'm in simple terms happy this wasteful intense priced software is ended so as that it will sidestep dropping money. We dont have an section race any extra. In case people havent referred to, there isn't any Soviet Union, in simple terms the chinese language left to compete with, because the U.S. has to spends us all into an early grave in simple terms to be the international dictator. In case people have not referred to, less than Obama we've streamlined numerous courses and saved numerous money, issues that were ignored for 20 years are being tackled now. Obama has not gotten suitable credit from the media. next we ought to end the intense priced warfare on drugs, yet another Reagan boondoggle that has brought about this u . s . to bypass into deep debt. Billions spent on killing the coca crop in Bolivia and farmers in simple terms keep transforming into it. Ridiculous and insane. yet American guidelines are insane. each American should be treated if this authorities stopped dropping money.

Answer 3

NASA has not only benefited the United States, but the world. It is FAR from being a "ridiculous boondoggle".

Answer 4

No. So many things have been done in weightless orbit....especially in the medical field....it would be STUPID to end the main driving force for invention and innovation this country has given the entire world with NASA. I want a pay cut for politicians before we do anything else. Stop making it so profitable to be a politician and you'll get better people doing the job!!!

Answer 5

Yes, lets kill the only Department that actually does some good for the country! Wow, did you even think about what the hell you're saying?

Answer 6

I'm sad that Obama is destroying NASA.

Their only "job" now will be his directive to make Muslims feel all warm and fuzzy about themselves.

That's why we shouldn't end NASA and we should continue our space exploration.



To go to Mars it would cost about 4% of what we spent on the bailouts.

Answer 8

Yep, and then we will have no way to put minorities and "diverse" people into space.

Answer 9

They prefer they put an end to welfare as we now have it.
