"We need to look at NASA not as a handout, but as an investment."

i think we need the first one in here too. totaly agree with him.

the point of nasa isnt only to make technological advances, but to inspire the public and get america back up on its feet

you live with, and/or are supported financially by your "well off" parents. Or you might still be in school hustling on loans and part time jobs. regardless, you have little perspective on how bad the world economy is right now. And the US is by no means over the hump in regards to the recession...


China is starting to exert their military influence in the eastern pacific, and are starting to develop a miltary that can compete on the same field as the US and Russia. And China has been fucking with US allies lately, and we have had a couple diplomatic run-ins with them lately, so war is a remote but very real possibility.

Not to mention that a nuclear Pakistan FUCKING HATES america, and top ranking military officials are buddy-buddy with al queda.

lets talk it out. the idea that world leaders can be so incapable of agreeing on something that they have to start blowing each other up seems a bit silly.

not sure if joking?

lol nope.. i live on my own, having already graduated from college, and I also live roughly 3,000 miles away from my parents.

China has a sizable army... but a laughable navy and air force.... NO nation in their right mind is going to launch nuclear weapons against the u.s. which is really the only threat china has against the u.s..... and would it be smart to fuck with a country that owes your country trillions of dollars? fuck no... cause they'll never see that money again.

Where to start on Pakistan... oh right, a bunch of soldiers flew into pakistan, took out bin Laden, and Pakistan DIDN'T DO SHIT. Not to mention all the u.s. drone strikes resulting in pakistan citizen deaths... which still have resulted in pakistan doing jack shit. How about the fact that their constantly at odds with india (also a nuclear power) who will probably gladly wipe them off the face of the earth if need be.

Basically stop scaring yourself... there's no point... do you think if there was a major war coming on that the u.s. military would be downsizing like it is right now? I mean c'mon stop the fear mongering... turn off the bull shit journalism.
