Thanks. That's an incredible picture.

I love this space stuff. I'm in the minority here on this, but I think every dollar spent on NASA is well-spent.

I agree...there was a news report today that scientists believe there is liquid water on Enceladus.

"I think every dollar spent on NASA is well-spent.

As one who worked closely with NASA, via my position in private industry during the Saturn/Apollo and Skylab program -- I can say with confidence and pride that MUCH of long term value was accomplished.

However -- that being said and acknowledged..
I also witnessed more Waste, Theft, Corruption, Ignorance, Incompetence, nepotism, political and union bullshit than one would normally associate with such a large program...

It was shocking.
Every dollar was NOT well spent on NASA...
Whatever was achieved, came at a much higher cost than necessary.

There is evidence, that it remains the same today....more than 3 decades later......with far less talent running the shop.

Semper Fi
