I'm just surprised at the comments about the Mars landing. I would have thought that those who use so much of the technology made possible by NASA would be supportive. I also am surprised at the those who think we aren't there and haven't been to the moon.

I posted a link below to a few of the benefits of the space program. It is one of the few government science programs that is worth anything. There isn't a political requirement to the program. Just go and look and experiment.

Below a few of the benfits, by no means all inclusive.
