$2.6 billion is approx 0.04% of the total US expenditure for one year. Looking at it another way, it's 12 cents per person living in the US. Just thought I'd lob that in.

And I could have used the $0.12. I had to beak a dollar the other day for tax on soft drink.

 I think only maybe a billion went for the probe. The other 1.5 billion is hidden in black programs.

So only $0.048 of mine went into the probe?

No, but Stanley Clarke does. Google him. He was in Return To Forever.

Stanley also knew the value of this guy.

Remember that a good portion of that money went to people working.  As I alluded to above, during just one year, the First Lady spent 1/10th of that amount of the tax payers money going on vacations...

Now which would YOU rather have your tax dollars spent on?  Undeserved vacations for those in or near political office or on cancer research?

At least the NASA expenditure has some scientific merit.

Oh yeah, before anyone tries to counter that other political figures have racked up as much or more (whether they did or not), I don't feel ANY of these Public Servants should be taking vacations at all. If the people they are supposed to be representing don't have jobs or can't afford to take time off, then why do they get to using money supplied by those same people?

Well it's cool as all get out that they know how to land
something on another planet. I can't imagine how they do that.
I'm lucky to get something recorded and they can send photos
back too! Man that is something to be proud about.

It's just my opinion that there is a right time to be doing things.
It doesn't matter what I think about this topic but I sure couldn't
maintain my household/family welfare by spending money the
way our government does.......well come to think about it they're
showing us just exactly how bad they can do things and sure
don't need us to prove that.
