***Caution!!! You are entering a rant zone! Mind your exits***
I do not support technology that even the head director of NASA said was a waste of time and money. On top of that, I can no longer support NASA in its failure to break free of the government control that they have (just like the post office) and not seek privatization or private funding to actually propel man further into the science and advancement of our destiny.
Proof needed? IT'S FRACKIN' SPACE! How can we have particle accelerators, volcanologists, oceanographers, and everything else to advance man forward in his knowledge of his surroundings but look up at the night sky and say "Ah, F**k it!"
There are more important things to focus on? How about all the tech that comes from just trying to go up 16 miles outside our small planet? (

Stop letting the President direct what will happen. Oh, we're going to land on a comet/asteroid next? Who cares?! Yep, that thing we have crash into the Earth daily and have a ton of examples, or that thing we know is made up of ice? Yep, good money spent. Should we go back to the moon where scientists are trying to look through pieces of glass to determine if there's water at the poles? Hey, I've got an idea! LET'S GO BACK THERE! We put a fricken flag on an entire celestial body...let's go get it back if we're not going to use it.
What are all these things on Mars? Could man/someone have been there, was the enviroment just like ours, did something wipe out Mars completely (

But it will cost too much money to develop the technology and to go there! Slap a McDonald's arch on the side of the rocket and you've just made McDonald's even more famous and a bunch of money!
Yes, this is a rant for the sake of a rant, but I think you guys know me, and you know how much I like my space. It's cool, and anyone you thinks space is not cool are the same people who complain that flying in a plane is annoying. YOU'RE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR!!! Don't you understand how awesome that is?! If you did that 300 years ago, you'd probably be worship as a god! These people need to be thrown into a volcano and then trampled by hippos!
/End of rant.
