Every week, I get these NASA Tech Briefs. They go on about what is being developed at NASA.

Then I come to the USMB, and I read right wing comments about NASA not developing much. Scientists on the dole who do nothing. Pork. Innovation comes from the private sector.

Are they wrong? Are they lying? I thought government couldn't do anything right.

Then there are all those comments about education. Do those scientists from NASA have education? Why are they always called "Doctor"?

So, NASA is proof that government can do something right or it isn't. Do right wingers make government fail to prove it doesn't work?

I worked at NASA for two weeks about 20 years ago. It was at "White Sands". A lot of immigrants. The doctor in charge of the department I was working at was from Transylvania and that's no joke. One thing I can say, the place is crawling with liberals.

Yeah.......they do kinda encourage each other, don't they?

Most people on the GOP side are scared of anything not like them. Good example is Islam, so that is why they lie to everyone about the Muslim threat by using hyperbole, and that generates fear which is what keeps everyone from learning about it.

Me? When all this shit started back in 2001, one of the first things I did was to start checking up on Islam and all those people over there, because as an active duty military member, I figured I should at least understand the competition.

Another example is white people back in the 50's being scared of black people, which caused lots of racist bullshit to happen. Why? It's easier to brutalize a group if you make everyone ignorant of the facts about them and use that ignorance to generate fear, which caused many white people to shun blacks in the 60's.

Today, we've also got the "gay threat" which is homosexuals (supposedly) wanting to turn our kids gay and they can't serve in the military because they'll be trying to convert others.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Yeah, ignorance and dishonesty is what you use to generate fear and control.

The real issue here is the 40 or 50 yearly commerical spin-offs.

The right wing thinks of NASA as a "pork barrel". How many companies spin off 40 or 50 new applications?

Remember, government isn't supposed to work. The only time NASA started going down was when Buah and the Republicans got involved. They fail so everyone MUST fail. They do that to "prove" government doesn't work.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) -- U.S. space pioneer John Glenn said on Thursday that President George W. Bush's space exploration plan "pulls the rug out from under our scientists" and might waste too much money to ever put astronauts on Mars.

The Ecological Society of America has criticized the Bush administration's August 15 proposal to reinterpret the Endangered Species Act, which would impose regulatory changes eliminating the requirement for federal projects to undergo independent scientific review.

The proposal would allow federal agencies to decide for themselves whether their projects would harm endangered plants and animals.
