The article’s point is that Reagan had the vision of continued human/American space exploration.

That in his zeal to hurt Newt, Santorum ridiculed and ended up clobbering Ronald Reagan.

I submit to you that Reagan fully understood budgetary issues but believed this was a priority item.

Our economy produces plenty enough revenue to afford space exploration and to reap all the benefits we have from it.

What has happened is that politicians have squandered the peoples’ money and become habitual borrowers.

They have also squelched the dynamic American economy by their stupid and Marxist policies.

Reagan was also fighting the Cold War. It ended in 1991 and so did the priority.
