Then why is everyone hiding in there little boxes and staring into a bright inanimate object? They seem to be scared to death of disease, war, terrorists, other cultures. How can you like human advancement when you see what its doing to the thing that have us life? Greed, and the human craving to know and control everything it can
Take note of irony: Someone saying how can someone like human advancement on the internet, the internet, on a computer, probably the greatest advancement in human civilization since the printing press or the steam engine.
NASA spends billions on exploring the galaxy with robots, Wich they have already seen and studied with telescopes, not their minds. While Billions of women and children are starving right on our own dying planet
If the federal budget was $1, NASA's share of it would be about 1/10 of 1 penny. NASA has also made advancements that have helped tens of millions in people in medical care and purification technology, not to mention our overall understanding of the universe. NASA is in fact the greatest return on investment of all government programs. Try again.
Yes and I also use cell phones. Both are pretty practical in this culture. So when Im in this culture I tend to use it from time to time. And there are alot of like minded people here who I like to conversate with. But yes I do contradict alot that I believe in, Wichita does upset me but I'm working on it
Alright sorry to upset you guys. Just saw this thread and and to put my word in. Otherwise a revolution would be mostly useless.
Yeah but we shouldn't be fighting to get rid of good things. That's what the Republican party is for.
It's interesting that NASA and space in general sits with high priority when our very own home is threatened by our very own disposition that put us where we are currently. This makes me wonder why NASA, or what it purpose really is. I suspect its more than pure space curiosity and levels off somewhere on the plain of public relations and built as a frame to support other aims and agendas grounded here on Earth, yo. Don't mean to sound like a broken record but there are always two, three, four , ten sides and interest to one mainstream accepted institution, project or mission statement. Humans.
Ironically NASA's motto is "For the betterment of all" NASA's purpose - exploration of both the Earth and space. Also just because NASA came up and when the budget comes up people always go "argh, NASA, rabble, rabble, so much money wasted" This is NASA's budget in terms of the federal budget:
God I wish it was that high. Also look on the bright side, you don't have the highest murder rate in the first world. *cough* looking at you america *cough*
The USA; -Shut down the Federal Reserve for good -End the war on drugs and legalize cannabis, MDMA, LSD, and other psychedelic drugs. -Outlaw GM foods ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canada; -Make Harper shove bill S-10 far up his ass and get the fuck out of office
It's the really tiny light blue line, like .52% I think. Put into numbers, NASA's budget is about $18-19 billion out of over $3 trillion in the federal budget. Woooah, wait a minute, who the hell are the 24 countries beating the US.
