Tell Bush what you think about his space plans
"The plan is entirely unambitious. With the utter lack of technological know-how we had in the 1960s, Kennedy proposed that man set foot on the moon by the end of the decade. Within 10 years we accomplished this amazing feat. Now Bush wants to maybe send someone to the moon in a little OVER 10 years? Give me a break. Let's get a fully staffed lunar base up and running in 5 years. Let's spend all the necessary money to fund the final stages of research required to make the carbon nanotube fibers that would comprise the cable of a space elevator.
Bush's plan is insulting to the collective intelligence and ingenuity of the human race."

That's not your concern. We have good mods here and they can handle it. This is nothing more than an IBL post and the mods a while ago told people to CUT THAT SHIT OUT.
Until there's fusion power, space travel is a wasted effort.

What good is space travel anyway? I personally don't give a rat's ass. I'd rather live in a country that had a 10% flat tax than a country with 50% total taxation that had put a dude on Neptune.

Dude, do you realize what a tiny percentage of the total budget US Space Exploration takes up? With a little fiscal responsiblity elsewhere we could triple NASA's funding and still pay a 10% flat tax.

Those damn tax and spend Republicans
I agree that we should balance the budget, but its the Dems that are tax and spend. Don't put that on the republicans.

Yeah, the reps are borrow and spend but the point is NASA's budget makes up such a tiny percentage of the total budget that it is LUDICROUS to say "hey no more NASA until we balance the budget." That's like saying you should stop buying chewing gum once a week because you are 900 bucks short on your rent every month. It's not the fvcking gum that is the problem.

I agree, I didn't say NASA was the problem. And I do definitely see your point BR. I want a balanced budget, but no way cutting NASA spending is gonna do it. It's gonna take cutting spending in social programs and pretty much everything else too. Smaller government usually = less spending. VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!
Dude. Republican in office. Largets government increases in the history of the US. Largest deficit in the history oof the US. Republicans are just as much a fundamental part of the problem as the Democrats. You are deluding yourself if you believe otherwise.

Believe me, I'm aware. But when people start evaluating things by how much percentage they make up, nothing ever gets cut. Of course, a good place to start might be social security and public healthcare.
Vote Libertarian.
The only "Bush Space Plan" I want to see is the one that sens *him* to another planet.
