Well, I have opinions on that too. NASA is just ONE thing that should be scaled back. This is a thread about Moon water so I fugured it was related. We don't DARE start threads on the rest of the waste of money.

And it's not like that money goes in a hole-people actually work there, work for the companies that build the rockets, parts, etc. I think we've learned a lot from space. I don't think we should go to Mars with the technology we have. But i think there's a lot to learn out there.

Don't care how their annual budget is figured. It's still a big waste. I'm not saying all of it. But someone please tell me why we are spending all this money to go back to the moon? And mars? That's like throwing a hail mary pass in the 3rd quarter.
So we should spend 15 billion dollars to create how many jobs? Most of those jobs would still be filled if we diverted the funds to something that is more practical and makes more sense.
