I have no problems with the space program in concept. Personally I think we should double or triple the funding for NASA – provided we can manage the money well.

What I cannot stand are quotes like this one.

“seriously people. why do billions of dollars of our taxes have to go to the space program instead of spending all that money on fixing problems right here on earth?
the only thing nasa is doing that is any good is the space station. that can be used for important experiments that can’t be done in gravity. but why go to mars? who cares. and fuck the moon. quit wasting all this money. if nasa wants to go in to space then great. but why not cut them off from the tax funding and make them raise their own money.”
