Hi Chuck, If not scientific advancement, what constitutes "sufficient reason" for the spending of taxpayer dollars on NASA? In other words, what do you (we?) expect to "get" out of our collective spending on NASA's activities?
Hi Chris: You know, I don't think I have ever _expected_ any kind of return personally, or felt 'owed'. I've never begrudged any of my taxes spent on most anything constructive, & reasonably ethical, and good grief in terms of sheer entertainment & personal enlightenment NASA has left me with little room for complaint, eh!? Other list members have expressed a cross-section of society's collective answer; perhaps they can tell you more pointedly than I. To each, his/her own, I'm reasonably sure that you will seldom get exactly the same reason(s) from everyone. C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
