Every now and then, just when I've about given up hope on the guy and his liberties with the constitution (as opposed to the much more desirable guarding of constitutional liberties), he does something like this.

If he were here, I would pinch his cheek and pat him on the head. Provided that wouldn't get me locked up in Cuba.

I'm seeing it as an investment -- we had so much spinoff technology from the Apollo program, that the government took in much more than it ever spent.

That's looooong term, though. Short term, I'd rather the money go a space program than, say, war with North Korea or Iran. Reminds me of Jefferson. J was big on the people (not government) owning land in the US, then he goes ahead and does the Louisianna Purchase. Politicians...*shrug*
