re: #119 RogueOne

This would be a nice program to have if we could afford it and if NASA could get it right but we can’t and they haven’t. There isn’t a company around that would put up with a program being 8 years past it’s due date and 200% over its budget. We have programs that people depend on, which are going broke, and people want to throw good money after bad on a meaning of life science project? That doesn’t make any sense.

It might also help to remember that the original funding for this was put through by a republican congress, senate, and president that didn’t know when to stop spending other peoples money either.

So instead of finishing this project, we should just throw away the money already invested because the science was harder than what was proposed.

That is a sure path to surrender.

damn folks, USA needs to get smarter. Our Country seems to have no interest in long term planning. so sad………………
