THE SPACE PROGRAM"THE SACRED COW""

While thousands of children go to bed hungry in this land of opportunity, we keep pouring money into a program that has given us such wonderful things like Tang. When is the last time you had a glass of this tasty elixir? Here are some costs I found on the net, The last grouping 'space tourism' is especially troubling!! Thank you to the examiner and Keith Stein for putting this information together.
Maybe we need to ask Mr, Obama if we will have a place on the space station if our country is destroyed since we are the ones paying for it Or just a trip to the space station since our billions are being wasted on this. I wonder how many children we could have fed or how many homes could have been saved with just the cost of the space shuttles that exploded or the money spent on delays. Just wondering.......
There is a great site that will show the estimated costs of the space program. It is www.examiner.com/x-5429-DC-Space-News-Examiner~y2009m3d16-Dramatic-cost-increase-for-NASA-space-physics-mission The last grouping 'space tourism' is especially troubling!!
