Hades, living by common sense has gotten this world quite a way since the stone age, don't you think? And if you want an answer you must first ask the question.
Zap, I'm not saying there haven't been advances that have benefited us, I'm saying that the return on investment has been very limited considering the vast amount of money being spent. And no, I don't have GPS.
Ah yes, Kev, space blankets for the homeless. Great idea. Who's going to fund that? And connecting NASA with going to college is a bit of a stretch. All I asked was should we continue to fund NASA. Even if we don't, people will still become educated and get those better-paying jobs. It's not like the world will come to a standstill and society will begin to revert to the dark ages.
And Kev, did you ever stop to consider that some people don't have the funding to go to college? Some must go to work and earn a living to support their family straight out of high school, assuming they even stay in school long enough to graduate. Not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
We are a sorely poor society when we have no consideration or compassion for our fellow man. That's one reason this world is in the financial mess it's in.
