After my mother died my father married a money grubbing gold digger and one afternoon my dad and I were talking about the wonders and benefits coming from our space program and she walked in to tell us that the space program was a wast of money because people right here in America were starving.
There were nine of us children and I was a what Jung would label a intuitive introvert. (ps: I didn't like her). Any way daddy sat there quietly probably thinking "crap - she caught me".
After a few minutes I decided to speak up. I told her: the space program is creating thousands of good paying jobs, whole new industries, new products and especially medical devices. It is not as if they are loading gold bullion on to a fire cracker and shooting it into outer space.
I can still see the surprise in my dad's eyes and then her surprise when a heartbeat later he said "yeah !".
Come to find out most of her whole family was on the dole. And worst of all to realize 60 years later that She/They Won.
The left also canceled NASA because it was racist to explore the universe before we handed out welfare checks
Don’t forget NASA money spent on educating the world of the Islamic contributions to science. Obama was a mess, yet we’re in his 3rd term.
I remember that.
