NASA Should Resume SS Experiments

Nasa has discontinued experiments aboard the space station partly
because funds are being reallocated over to the new Lunar initiative.
What ever the excuse or reason, & there are several others, the bottom
line is that Nasa cannot obtain the funds for experiments.

But consider that in 2006 Americans will spend:

Over $40 Billion on jewelry

60+ Billion on the Dept. of Education

Umpteen billions on sports

Billions on other activities - gambling, pornography, illegal
narcotics.....

With this in mind I think we should be able to scrounge up a few
million dollars to resume these very important experiments.This is one
of the major reasons if not the most important reason for having a
space station. So please contact Nasa, the President, & congressmen
that oversee committees on space & science to resume experiments. It
will only take about 5 minutas away from your sports program or soap
opera to do this.

and crew to ISS, and sustain them...

Well, at the moment we still have two operational Shuttles. And in the
future we'll have the CEV and its cargo variant. Is there something
I'm not taking into account?

Sincerely Yours,

I'll write my congressman and insist that most ISS science funds be
diverted to ISS assembly until after 2010. Kudos to Griffin for finally
realizing that it's folly to try to do a lot of science in a half-assembled
station. It's like furnishing your house before the roof is finished.

And I'll write my Congressman and insist that we stop pouring good
money after bad, and divert all of Shuttle/ISS funds to something that
will actually provide some progress in space.
