Lauching a Sattelite and Space Exploration are two entirely different things.

Surprised by the negativity on this subject. Exploration is (IMO) the essence of mankind. If we didn't explore where would we be today. Or are you just saying we've explored enough and we should just stop now?

Don't get me wrong, I respect your opinions, just surprised a little.

And seriously, just google the things that have resulted from space exploration. Think of things that you use every day that are a result of space exploration. And just think of how happy X will be driving a Camaro on the moon.

Don't really want too research any more. Nothin I can do to change it. AT ALL. It's not like we can vote on it.

so many minor advancements have been achieved that make our lives so easier due to research funded by nasa.

Also got a question for you P what do you truly consider better research?

Come on dude. NASA IS funded. We fund them. They can't 'fund' anyone.

And better research would be Cancer to name just one.

I'm willing to spend 1/2 of 1% of my taxes on this-at least it's visible instead of some pork barrel project that gets hidden on the 1000th page of some bill. It's one of those arguments that's fairly useless as I know I'll never convince those against NASA and those against NASA will never convince me.

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT MOON WATER. The rest of our ridiculous National Budget is another topic. I feel much stronger about that crap.
