To the Moon and Beyond

isorox writes "The BBC is reporting that 'Europe is considering sending humans to the Moon, Mars and beyond within the next few decades', although the UK government 'does not support human space flight and will not fund UK citizens to go through the official European astronaut training programme'. However while plans are made for the next 30 years, Rosetta is due to launch in 2 weeks time, ready to rendevous and land on a comet in 2011. Assuming it doesn't blow up on launch."

It all got insane during the Reagan era.

You mean the ACLU era. They are the ones that got the mentally ill dumped on the street.

then the rollback of social services.

Social services have never been rolled back. Ever. Now, the rate of increase has been reduced at certain points... which the lovely democrats called "cutting" the budgets. Yes, they flat out lied.

America has never seen hoards of homeless like we have now - including during the depression of the 30's.

Funny how that works. The more the government spends on social programs, the worse the problem gets.

Actually, the primary difference between the 30s and now are cheap, unbelievably addicting drugs. There is more than enough shelter beds and food for the homeless -- they choose to live on the street.
