Trump & Elons money grab

[initforme]

It's a waste.

How well a country is doing is best measured by how thr poorest of it's poor are doing.

 

[YoursTruly]

It's not wasted. It's not like feeding a family of six when mom and dad are on drugs.

 

[toobfreak]

Earth.

Idiot, we are talking about OTHER worlds.

Why do I even try.

The poorest of the poor would do better with a job in the space program.

Our homeless are fat.

If they were paid 100k yes

 

[initforme]

Our homeless are fat.

So are our wealthy.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

See. A little education is all it takes.

 

[Marchimedes]

I made a point.

What's yours?

What Obama or the democrats have done is irrelevant ...

Of course, they are corrupt dictators. Thank you for confirming you support tyrants

We can discuss how bad the democrats are in a thread about how bad democrats are. And we'll probably have a lot to agree on.
But try to keep up. This is about Trump, Elon and how much money it's going to cost us tax payers to send stuff to an uninhabitable planet.

No, we're talking about wasting trillions of our tax dollars on a planet that we'll never be able to live on. And all that money and resources could be better spent keeping this planet in tact.

FFS, Mars doesn't even have an atmosphere to protect it from meteors and asteroids and other space junk crashing into it.

No, YOU were claiming that and you're wrong. We can and will live on Mars someday out of necessity.
BTW, most every convenience you enjoy and depend on today was developed from the military and/or space program.

And all that money and resources could be better spent keeping this planet in tact.

You speak as though wealth were an apple pie and what you spend one place takes from another. Wealth creates wealth.

Mars doesn't even have an atmosphere to protect it

Wrong again Ace, Mars has a thin atmosphere. How do you think it has dust storms every year?
And that might change with terraforming.

from meteors and asteroids and other space junk crashing into it.

People there would live underground and in pressure domes.

Last I checked, my comment was about Musk and the billions democrats gave Musk.

You are not playing stupid, are you

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Possible microorganisms.

But, I did read “Stranger in a Strange Land.”

Grok!

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

The only thing that's going to makes us anything close to Haiti, is over spending. Every time they dump $1 trillion into the economy, it devalues the money that's already in your possession. If BRICS takes over the worlds reserve currency, it'll devastate us financially & economically.
5 years ago, BRICS wasn't hardly worth mentioning. But they're constantly picking up new members.
And Trumps idea of fixing this is to threaten countries who join BRICS.

What's a bigger threat than 10 shitholes with crappy currencies? 20 shitholes?

And the subject of the thread is Trump, Elon and the money they're going to be wasting in space. Democrats have nothing to do with it.

Bullshit. Obama and the democrats gave Musk the money to go into space.

Lousy lying democrats. Democrats are okay with democrats giving money to musk.

President Obama's Space Legacy: Mars, Private Spaceflight and More

A lot has changed in the fields of spaceflight and space exploration since President Barack Obama came to power eight years ago. Here's Space.com's admittedly premature look at the 44th president's space legacy.

Commercial spaceflight has taken off during the Obama presidency. For example, two different American companies, SpaceX and Orbital ATK, are now flying uncrewed resupply missions to the ISS for NASA.
