ok, thank you.. now we can have a conversation...
do you think if we found gold or oil on mars the US would have more of interest in space?
of course, but we have become nothing more than a revenue based country..
it's sad really, but at the same time not surprising..
as a country, the US has squandered more money in the last ten years then most countries GDP for 100's of years..
if we spent 1 tenth of what the US has spent on wars in the last 10 years, we would be able to fund our space program for decades...
its no wonder that the US is quickly falling behind in education and that will eventually lead to a standstill in technological breakthroughs in the future..
we need to stop blaming our leaders and start blaming ourselves for doing nothing but sit back and watch this country decline..
100 years from now our future generations will look back at us and wonder how we could let such a great country become a shithole...
i keep waiting for the straw to break the camels back, but it seems that americans are too worried about what is going on today and not thinking about the consequences of our actions and how our future generations are going to suffer because of the decisions we are making...
