I don't exactly disagree with your point Larry...but NASA and many other budget items don't get much press or have a place in a platform. They don't happen to be big budget items either. We could easily afford a few billion dollars a year "thrown" at space infrastructure and not notice it...

But, it would take a president half-way interested in space (as a useful place) to make anything happen with it. In part that is why we are where we are today. If you want this to change, change the present POTUS and members of congress to better choices...

This is the democracy part of the republic you and I have some control of...
