Saw on cnn.com that Nasa wants to spend $104 Billion to go back to the moon. Why? Are they going to colonize it with evacuees?
The political infighting about how to finance the Katrina clean up is heating up right now and Nasa wants to do this with tax payer money?

Wow, that would be a waste of money.
Unless there's oil on the moon... Hmmm...
(We all know that if Bush really wanted to have $100 billion to go to the moon he would just say that there were terrorists and WMD's there... )

Seriously people , i know there should be priorities right now , but nasa's priority is not helping flood victoms , that's not why all the nasa people have jobs , and why they go to work every day , it is their job to do stuff like this.

I see the possiblility of this turning to a big arguement, but consider the benefits from pushing the technology envelope in returning to the moon.... could ya'll live with out the things you have now that were spun off from earlier space programs? Think of the medical technologies that have been developed that have helped millions more than those that have been affected by Katrina... MRI machines and digital X-rays were derived from space technologies... and just how well do you think our beloved CTDs would run without the miniaturized electronics that run the ECMs.... Do ya think we would have desktop/laptop computers like we do now?.... or missles we can fly through a doorway?.... then there is the weather satelites that we used to warn those fools to get out, but that's Bush's fault in the opinion of some....but Mr. N.O mayor didn't get his *** in gear and mobilize all those busses he had.... the satelite photo shows roughly 300 flooded busses in the muni parking lot.... more than enough to get the "carless" people out.... the role of the government is to do for the greater good and re-building N.O. is not the "greater good" of this country.

I think it's money very well spent as long as NASA isn't in charge. It's turned out to be another huge bureaucracy. Not like the days of old, where science and sound engineering were driving the agenda. It's probably time to privatize the space agency.
