Euh gotta spend those tax dollars somehow. I think the money should be sunk into restablishing the shuttle program :?

yah, and to think we get reamed for making a deal to get 4 subs from the Brits for a trade of unused military base property worth 750 million. I wish we had the budget of the Yanks...

Oh, I'm glad I am paying taxes for that... Now theres the matter of paying off that huge national debt.

Who cares if we can prove how/if space and time and gravty are reltive?

I mean, i think its a cool experiment, but for the price of it?? Geeze, no thank you!

I agree, thats alot of money.

Keep in mind that this might get us a better understanding of priciples of time and gravity.... One step closer to Warp factor 9, and transporters!

(maybe it is worth it.)

telorportation here we come, but ya know were in debt sure, but we still thrive somehow so whats it matter, put more money into the things like that an all the other strange an stupid government funded junk

No way, shuttle program almost killed NASA, fer darn sure killed serious manned space exploration. Money should go to experimental deep space programs, with an emphasis on establishing perm base on moon. Only d*mn thing W ever said that makes any sense, though his goals are a little fuzzy.
Any number of good space truck options under developement already, should scrap old shuttles, they're WAY beyond intended operational life of lowest-bidder merchandise.

i dont know about spending all this money on the stuff, will we ever know for sure what is out there? NO
