I have a better ides. Let's send our tax dollars to people that will use common sense in spending them.

I kinda see what your saying, it does seem like going to space is a waste of money. but look at it like this. if all the jobs in the USA, or the world. that are there for people to work at, because they came from the NASA program. like satellite tv, satellite internet, cell phones, surveying equipment, hospital equipment. the list goes on and on. there would be hundreds of millions of people from around the world out of work. and the job loses from another country effect this country as well. I think the NASA program has done it's part to help mankind.
