Wow, I heard this morning on the news that NASA is spending 400 Million dollars to put a rocket in the air for 2 minutes, now I am no rocket scientist, but I would like to think that I could be a slight humanist, Does it make sense to waste tax payers dollars to put another fucking rocket in the air, at that cost? They need to shut NASA down, its a hole in the bucket, and another way for the gov to put its family members in pointless high paying jobs, under the idealogy of a possible alien attack. WTF. How about taking that 400 Million and feeding some hungry people, or impliment programs that help the children of stupid parents.
Sigh.

But you didn't mention the fact that it's the first new rocket we've developed in 30 years! While the 400 million dollar price seems high, that's probably factoring in all the man hours involved in not just creating it and launching it, but also all the research and planning it's taken all these years.
