You know, I’m not exactly a fan of the GOP’s cost cutting but I honestly do not see how staring off into the depths of space has benefited Americans on earth.

Maybe the only reason we’re spending that money in the first place is out of some cynical forecast that we’re eventually going to screw up the earth anyway before the Universe does (through comets/red giant sun, etc) and we need to find an alternative place to ship the future of humanity fast.
