Weather satellites alone have probably saved thousands if not tens of thousands of lives just in the monitoring of tornadic storms and hurricanes and given you all warnings of when to expect snow or hail. If you think nothing has come from the exploration of space and the people that do it than you are either ignorant or clueless. I'd rather pay to try and put someone on Mars then for all these assholes free healthcare and the god awful Unions.

Except your paying for both, and I agree good things have come of it but, we lived with out it before, was my only point. But, the health care and unions have 0 to do with nasa and have to do with our government, which is flawed also. Id kill to go see a docter about my back but cant cause I have no insurance, but the illegal immigrant can go for free. I think we need to kick everyone out who hasn't earned the right to be here. If you came legally thats one thing, but ive seen/worked with to many illegals, they need to go. Thats some of our issues.
