The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will spend billions of taxpayer dollars, going back to the moon, presumably so that one day years from now people can land on March. We just learned that real mission in a few years is to land on the moon again so that the first woman and person of color can make history. Really! So we are going to spend billions of taxpayer dollars so NASA can achieve its Woke agenda that will do nothing more than has already been done years ago. One small step for a woman and person of color, one giant leap for nobody.
NASA is intent on having people journey to Mars and other planets. The question is why? What real benefit will it bring to people on earth. When Europeans monarchs sent explorers to discover the New World for better or worse, it resulted in tangible benefits to those countries. What tangible benefit will the people (AKA taxpayers) of the United States realize by going to Mars. The answer is NOTHING that matters on earth.
This is all happening while the United States has a $31 Trillion National Debt with no end in sight. It is time for the federal government to prioritize. We must save Social Security and Medicare; both headed toward insolvency. We must secure our border. We must provide for the National Defense to preserve and protect our nation. We must figure out how to save failing public education. We must cure diseases that are killing our people every year. These are the things that really matter.
If space travel has some benefit, let private enterprise handle it. Elon Musk has proven with SPACE-X, that his company can get people into space. Let Elon Musk and others go to Mars on their dime. All government must do to encourage private space exploration is to provide tax incentives. If there is profit to be made so be it. It is time to pull the plug on the Woke NASA budget. This is just one more big government boondoggle that we just can't afford anymore.
