if all the money wasted on NASA had been invested in the free market, the list would be 100 items long instead of just 50

Space Dog believes in free market space exploration

I'm on a blackberry. I'll respond when I get to a computer. It's probably the typical BS that acts like nothing would have ever been inventited without NASA.

I have a pillow made of Tempur and this foam first began development in the 1970s to help cushion NASA astronauts upon takeoff.

So I rest my head every night on foam that was originally developed for NASA astronaut's asses.   :american

this is just nonsense

dont you see that much of what NASA is today is a product of the RUssian communist socialist programs like Sputnik, as a kind of US counterbalance

therefore, the RUssian commies created NASA

therefore, NASA is commmunist

why dont you sociofemmy-antiracy-commies fail to understand

my good lord

I vote to restrict FoC to posting on his Blackberry. He can be obnoxious but it isn't as rapid fire.
