spending should be on infrastructure, roads bridges, water serer mass
transit fixed assets like people movers.

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.
Big difference. Then again, you're against any HSF, so that colors
your thinking.- Hide quoted text -

heres a paste of the article wheres the science?

Washington, DC
Thursday, November 17, 2011

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and other top officials discussed
the space agency's broad goals and how they plan to collaborate with
the private sector and international community before a Senate
Commerce Subcommittee on Science and Space.

Now that the space shuttle program has ended NASA is dependent on
Russian Soyuz rockets to carry astronauts to the international space
station until private contractors take over the job. Meanwhile NASA is
developing its own new human spaceflight system.

Subcommittee chairman Bill Nelson (D-FL), himself a former astronaut,
heard testimony from Administrator Bolden and the directors of the
three main NASA centers tasked with implementation of the new
exploration program.

The center directors from Kennedy Space Center, Johnson Space Center,
and Marshall Space Flight Center also appeared on the second panel.
