spending should be on infrastructure, roads bridges, water serer mass

why burn money on ISS with mo science payback?
Typical liberal thinking, bobbert. There's always something else to
spend on instead of NASA. And in case you were living in your Luddite
shell, yesterday, there was a Senate hearing on NASA's Exploration
plans for HSF. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) opened the hearing by saying
that there are two drugs either in FDA trials or about to enter said
trials, that were developed on ISS: one's a vaccine for Samonella. ISS
was in the CONSTRUCTION Phase, dolt. Now, they're doing real science.
