Waste of money at this point and time.  If our affairs were in order then "maybe" it could be discussed but until then..no way.  Besides that I would like to see where all of this money goes to and who will be held accountable for it.  I think you will find that someone down the payout line will be a supporter of a influential politician.

2,500,000,000....... Two and a half thousand million dollars....  I know that's not the right way to say it but it puts that number into perspective.

Part of me thinks the mission is cool as shit and we should be doing this kind of shit and the other part looks at the cost and says, yea but wtf are you fucking kidding me!

If you want to stay stuck in the past ignore the future. More money should be dumped into NASA and taken from the military complex you guys have amassed.
