Remember that moon bombing a month ago? I guess those folks at NASA knew what they were looking for.

hey nasa, heres the world's most expensive cookie:

this was still a huge waste of money. I'm all for knowing things, but there has to be a purpose. If there is life out there, I'm only concerned with knowing if we're going to attack, or are being attacked.

We can build a base on the moon if there's enough water ... it means oxygen and rocket fuel.

Exactly. It's a pretty big deal if we are serious about going to Mars and exploring the rest of our solar system.

OR we could not worry about it and help pay off our great national debt.

Yeah, because the less than 1% of the budget NASA gets in funding will pay off the national debt. That's what is screwed up with this country. If only we never had NASA, this country wouldn't have any debt at all. Right. :rolleyes:

Or we could take the spinoffs, create more jobs, and then pay off the national debt.

I understand it's a big deal. How long until they decided to do something about it

I don't know. They had that plan that Bush laid out to go to the moon then Mars, but who knows if Obama and the Democrats will give them the funding.

And where did I say it would pay off the whole debt? :dodgy:

Then it's pointless. The around 18 Billion NASA gets a year wouldn't even make a dent in the interest payments on our current debt. We get so many benefits from so little money, it'd be a huge mistake to get rid of NASA.

There are probably many more, not to mention the one used by Americans every day. I'm sure you have a TV?

Finding water on the moon is a really big deal to science in general.

I'd go for that. I think it would be cool to live on the moon. Cold and Hot, but cool nonetheless.

Wait a minute...I thought they said they found life on Ur-anus. Or was that life on Al Gores anus?
