I completely agree! How much is this expedition costing? I heard a figure
of $261 million. YOWZA! How many people would that feed, clothe and
house? By my calculations, that would take care of about 9000 people here
in the U.S. Makes me wanna go hmmmm.......

This is a good point...but considering the amount of $$ currently being spent
to "defend" the US from countries that no longer exist using weapons that
don't even work (about a third of the budget, I believe?), not to mention all
the programs that used to exist but have been slashed, I think we can boost
the less than 1% of the budget that currently goes to AFDC/food stamps and
create/enlarge lots of great programs as well without trashing the space
program. How many people could eat for how long off the cost of one B2??
