I’d rather some of our tax money went to these types of projects ...
Why throw good money after bad? The return on the amount spent in the last 50 years is a little knowledge and then nothing.
Between paying for LBJ's great society, NASA, the takers of America, et al, I'm freakin' broke.
Ever wonder why women HAVE had to work since the late 60s? It's not equality or emancipation ... it's to pay all the damned taxes in this country.

Well, I’m not sure but I think it might be the biological imperative at work. Just as our ancestors pushed their technology to its limits in exploring the New World, could they help themselves and say, no, it costs too much money? Granted there was some rate of return involved though I suspect the overall balance sheet, if there ever could be one, reflected more debit than credit.

Or, perhaps it is the Romantic in me that wishes it were so, and wishing I could go sets me to dream that, for me, some small part of Heaven would be my soul’s ability to finally know...all of existence.

So I have to disagree. This is one endeavor I support, thinking as well that it takes a strongly structured and coherent society to be able to pull it of. But I guess we both see how that’s going.

Thanks always for your service. We could have been successful there too had it not been for the democrat party that pulled the plug on us.
