Just heard Neil deGrasse Tyson say on NPR that we spend 4/10ths of 1 percent of our national spending on NASA. All told. 4/10ths of a SINGLE PERCENT.
And we're ending our shuttle program WHY? For god's sake, get us back out there, government! GO. NOW. Start doing new things like we used to do back in the 70s and 80s. Go to the Moon again. Go to Mars, please - go to asteroids, go somewhere! Please!
It's a very, very bad thing for me to be hormonal at the same time that we're basically decommissioning the American space program. I keep getting teared up whenever this comes up.
