Now we had to hitch a ride with our geopolitical enemy in Russia to fix our deteriorating space infrastructure.
Heckuva job there.
Stuff like this makes me sad that our spending priority went to overpriced tanks and asshole foreigncountries.
A true wonder that feels like somehow we have forgotten as a people that we did that.
I've worked with many folks who were involved in the space program and it's sometimes a little sad to see all the futures planned that we'll likely never see.
@John, there's more short term advantage in shooting or bribing folks. Exploration is a risky and difficult procedure to get quick returns on.
@John – Defense spending was nearly 50% of government spending in 1968 and foreign aid is a drop in the bucket.
Our country spends more on aid to potential enemies and countries that harbor enemies than we do on space exploration.
