I personally disagree with spending millions of dollars on space travel when there's poor people in this country who have to decide whether to take much needed medication or eat a meal.
It sucks big time and I hate poiliticans. They are blood sucking leeches who have only their own best interests at heart.

U.S is one the countries yes. But also china, russia and most of the other rich nations.
As you mentioned about millions of people with no health insurance and cant afford to see doctors. Its shameful that governments would rather spend their money on preserving some endangered animal and silly things like that than caring about the lives of human beings.
I may be ruining other peoples enjoyment and sound like a stuck up old man but i really have to vent out my anger here. Lets take the 2008 olympics for example. China is now boasting about they are hosting it, how great and powerful they are now, how this makes them look great blah blah blah......
But to me im thinking "yeah but you still have thousands of sex slaves in your own country and you're doing absolutely nothing about it". To the government, the olympics is far more important. Its disgusting.
Its fancy packaging. Great on the outside, rotten on the inside.
