Let them swarm. They have been pouring money into the space program for fifty years (at least) and really what except a few tragedies they haven't done much. Wow I guess they did put an American Flag on the moon...That and fifty dollars won't get you very far.

You are a fool if that is what you believe. Try typing into Google "Nasa Inventions"
Here I'll list 2 for you:
Cat Scan
Kidney Dialysis

And those are just from the Apollo missions!

I cannot pay much respect to any opinion that on the one hand complains about the Federal space programs and on the other hand does not see the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty as strangling the private space industry.

Are you really that uninformed? 

Wow.

Your profile says your a supporter of the troops and I have no reason to doubt you there. So I will just go against your warning and try to tell you that the space industry, like nuclear energy industry, is dual use. As such, the research and products that come from it, whether you are aware or not, contribute greatly to our national defense. NASA funding provides a huge chunk of this.

You might want to focus your spending complaints on the more obvious waste of welfare and wealth redistribution.
