Do you not understand that if it wasn't for NASA and the US Government and the money they invested forty years ago you wouldn't have a computer on your desk right now, no less the Internet.

Oh I see. Because you can't challenge anything I actually said, you construct a strawman to waste your time arguing over instead. Here's a reminder, brains: I said
NASA is not a synonym for science. Are you claiming it is?
Feel free to Google "NASA", "synonym" and "science" before your next reply.

Did you know that roads are built safer now because of NASA? Scratch-resistant Lenses were created by NASA for space - the same exact ones I'm wearing now. Ear Thermometers, Shoe Insoles, Long-distance Telecommunications and cell phones, Smoke Detectors, cordless drills, water filters, memory foam, Anti-corrosion Coating, hearing aids, frozen food, CAT Scans.... All of this in hindsight seems very obvious now, but do you think if NASA didn't do work with shoe insoles in the 1960s during the Apollo missions that Nike would have the same sneaker they have now?

I know you're trying your best to look like a dipshit here, but try and riddle this: science existed long before the USA even existed, never mind NASA. A bunch of random inventions != all science. Or even anything close.
In fact
almost everything to do with science and mathematics has absolutely nothing to do with NASA. If you have anything to challenge that statement, which should be self-evident to anyone with even the most tenuous grasp of science or reality, well, you'd have already done so. So instead, you may apologize for your mistake and then fuck off.

We might have cordless drills without NASA, but they would be with technology that was twenty years old. Memory foam might not sound too exciting - big deal, we have new mattresses - but I wonder how that has affected car seats and automobile safety...

Blah blah blah blah blah. Now go back and read what I actually said, and then look up the word "science".

All of these things sound so obvious and are so common today, but without NASA and our military we would be twenty - forty years behind in developing such simple items today.

Prove it. While you're at it, prove that handing out a trillion dollars a year to any other (non-military) organization or individual wouldn't have provided the same, or even greater, scientific benefits.
You can't prove it, because you're just a typical forum buffoon who revels in his own stupidity and spouts inane opinion as fact.
You should really have this sig below a separator.
