Re: Space Exploration

I am all for subsidizing invention and innovation, but at a reasonable level and it must show results, or at least a very good chance for progress, or get sidetracked.
Historically speaking, a lot of invention and discovery was done with little or no reward for the people doing it. Some of us just love to discover.....
Not suggesting we go that far back, but the wasted time and money in some of our projects could be put to better use working more on our energy issues.
