sposed to be like that.................it's in the air...like your moon

The NASA budget is a drop in the bucket as far as federal budget goes. There are plenty of places where one could find out about this information, if one was truly interested in knowing, instead of making a common, albeit misled, presumption about how much money NASA is granted.

Here are a couple random links that will help educate those who are interested, to get started.

Rap is dumb. I'll admit that much.

Nasa should advertise. Paint the shuttle like a coke can. That oughta buy a little hydrogen.

Yeah, Who wants a beaver with missing parts!

Note: I'm NOT that misled and I'm STILL interested Even if a few billion dollars might be a "drop in the bucket" it is STILL a few billion dollars. I'm not TALKING about all the other places USA might utilize it's public coffers in the furthering of world knowledge and peace ... I'm talking, in this case, about NASA and what it spends.

Please. Don't lump me in with Anfa for heaven's sake.

P.S. and I'm not saying I'm happy with all the places CANADA spends it's tax dollahs either - I mean look at that image above: we put a BEAVER into SPACE for mercy's sake!

Are you saying we have extra beaver here in Canada and that we sending the spares into outer space? Is this some evil plan to get more guys volunteering for the space program?

Reinman and Afa in the same soup, yep that's one lumpy soup.

I think Mason is heading for the recuitment office as we speak.

I'll gladly get in the SOUP with ANFA, but I don't want to get into his pants (it makes my feet sore!)

Again, not referring to you specifically, but to everyone who even attempts to use the "we spend too much on NASA" strawman and it's various variants to try and justify their claims that we should put that money to "better uses" in any number of social programs, as if NASA is getting more than a fraction of what pretty much any social program is already getting. Yes,a billion dollars is a lot. 17 billion is even more. For one person, that is. When you have a quarter-billion people paying taxes, it's not that much. I'm sure you are well aware of that, though.



Recruitment for what? What does bothering to educate myself about things like what NASA is up to have to do with recruitment?

Damn it Mason, just shaddup and submit yourself to the inevitable GROUP HUG!!!!

(beer MAY be involved )

No! I hate beer and hugs. I will never, ever give in to your evil and obvious trap of beer and hugs. Next thing you know I might actually agree with something someone else says and I absolutely cannot have that.

(perhaps I should have offered the Group Spankings?)

Now that I can agree with, as long as I am choosing the spankers.

hmm...spankers. spankersspankersspankers...that word loses meaning with repetition.

get a room guys.... sick people, just sick! Do your huggin and spankin somewhere else, in fact go to the moon for that stuff! No, make it Mars, they take wierdos!
