I hate it when people talk about how they don't like or see the benifits of Space Exploration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Conservative estimates place US tax payer return at around 7-12 dollars on every buck spend by Nasa. The main return we get from the space exploration program is Technology. Nearly every Technological advance in the last 40 years can be tied to Nasa, in some way. When you got up this morning and put on your Scratch Resistant Glasses, You just benifited from the Space Program. When you used the Dust buster to clean up your spilled Cheerio's, you benifited from Space Travel. When you called you Father, and asked him how he was feeling from his outpatient Laser Angioplasty, Your father benifited from space travel. When you called him you benifited from Space travel cause your Cell Phone uses Microlasers in the communications grid. When you drove the teener over to the Golf Course, You cornered better cause Nasa developement in tires. And then your damned Golf Ball flew farther cause of Nasa. And then the Flat screen your reading this on was based off NASA research. So basically your advocating that we don't expand a critical agency that returns between 7-12 dollars on every one spent by it. And then your Common Sence tells you Planet Hopping is a Dead End. On a Planet that has 6.3 billion population, thats growing at a rate thats unsustainable. So your Common sence tells you that mass starvation, Draconian population control, and limited resources, is preferable to expanding in out onto other planetary bodies. Please keep your narrow minded short sighted Luddite views to yourself. |
