you can keep on investing in future tech but that is what brings these economic downturns in the economy and people suffer,that money can be used for people to be happy and live in the present not just work for something that is completely not needed atm or in the near future

 


What in the hell are yuo talking about?

what the hell are you talking about?

 

people don't have money to live and you are saying that we should invest in future fantasy projects

So should we scrap NASA and spread the money we would spend on it to poor people? Because news falsh, that wouldn't go very far.

no i am saying we should spend a small amount not the billions we keep on spending every year on NASA,ESA,Russian space program

the 1960's US spending was a joke.spedning money for pride..........lol,after that they realise oh_fuck this was just a fantasy and we go back to earth

 

money should be spent in the economy for short term things

 

competition among boeing,airbus and other manufactures itself will lead to advancement in the long term and it will not effect the social-economics

 

Do you have any idea how insignificant NASA's budget is?

insignificant to what?

 

stop comparing

 

those few billions itself make big difference

I was under the impression that Obama completely cut the NASA program. 


Not completely, but he gutted it.

So it's virtually worthless now?


obama just gutted the long term investment not the short term

he killed long term plans like going back to the moon in 2024 and shuttle replacement vehicle budgets

NASA budget for 2011 is $18.5billion which is the same which was being invested prior to obama

Insignificant to the millirary, to welfare, to social security, to the budget as a whole. 

Those few billions don't make a difference. At all. America can wipe its ass with a few billion.

you have no idea what you're talking about

 

NASA knew that they won't be able to travel to ISS using their own vehicle many years ago

 

it has nothing to do with OBAMA cancelling the funding.

 

and NASA funding is the same as in 2008

don't compare military funding with NASA funding

 

military has its own funding and has contractors like lockheed martin which compete amongst each other

 

and the amount US spends on military has lots to do with politics rather then the need of soceity,US creates its own enemy and now US have to spend as much to protect itself and its status in the world

 

NASA doesn't get involved here,yeah they collaborate sometimes but to mix weapon development with space funding is totally wrong
