Nasa's damp squib...

Of greater importance however was what Niels posted regarding the weight one should give to the opinion of a lay person as to what is and isn't an important area of study for the scientific community.

It is our money, so therefore, we should have full say on it. We aren't dictated to by "the scientific community"

Nasa has made many costly mistakes that have cost dollars and lives. I wonder why we haven't called for investations into NASA. I remember all the libs making fun of Bush for wanting to go to Mars by 2030. Now they seem all for it.

True. NASA scrapped millions of dollars of projects. However, what about the DoD. They scrapped even more.

Any org who wastes my money needs investigations.

You can't see the wood for those idiological trees Joe. True, an organisation that spends tax dollars should be scurtinised and dollars spent justified but...here's the killer...not by you personally Joe. The fact is, you have no clue what is and isn't useful to the scientific community or what is and isn't a useful area of scientific study. You appear to have it in for NASA Joe, I suspect that's because of their position on climate change, although it could be something else. Why don't you tell us Joe. What is wrong with NASA the organisation? Is it just full of those nasty 'librul' types?

Whats funny is that you're personally OK with Obama scrapping specific NASA missions (which he has done) and he isn't a scientist. They were decisions not based on science. But then again, he's your lord so you don't question him.

More dodgy reading comprehension. That must be a real barrier to job success.

Since when did fist-shaking rhetoric become synonymous with substance?

Dunno Joe - let me know when you find some.

In the meantime, please point out the part where you provided a detailed cost benefit analysis of NASA and its work.

Sattellites and telescopes are important, but trying to build a base on the moon is asinine.

Brilliant - that one-liner will have those liberal scientists quaking in their boots. Bravo Joe.

You don't know why we need a base on the moon, yet you're willing to follow like a sheep.

You don't know why we need a base on the moon, yet you're willing to follow like a sheep.

And you don't know why we don't need it.

Furthermore you don't know if it will happen, or on what timescale.
