Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input
brandido writes "Space.com is reporting that Bush's space panel is seeking public input on the effort to return to the Moon and then reach Mars. From the article: "President Bush's new space advisory commission for getting humans to the Moon and Mars has launched a web site seeking public input with the promise of reading all comments." The article provides a link to the website for Bush's Space Panel, but it does not provide a direct link to the site for sending comments. I personally think we should use a Martian Space Elevator to further our exploration of Mars."

I'd have more pride in my country if I could afford health care than sending someone to mars.

Hubble won't be enough to keep the american space penis erected.
This isn't offtopic. Flamebait perhaps, but not offtopic.
Well, my public education worked fine for me. And the school bent over backwards to accomodate my learning disability, so long as my parents kept prodding them.
And I'm doing alright at a community college, too. You can even work at the same college you're a student at, to pack in some experience for down the road.

In other news, timothy's mom seeks public input.
First, no one dies in the US due to lack of healthcare. NO ONE.

Second, the major benefits healthcare the world over is due to private CORPORATE drug manufacturers here in the US. France and Germany aren't leading the way in Healthcare.
Third, the standard of living in Germany is lower than the US. So YOU are paying for healthcare, even if the wool is over your eyes. If you think your healthcare is better quality, I will leave you to your fantasy world.
If leftists like yourself get their way , medical advances will crawl forward (if at all ) for the next 50 years or so.
THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH!

Oh, fuck.

But think how much more money they'd have if the economy wasn't burdened with giving them a free ride?
In any case, "health care should be a right" -- you mean that everyone has the right to steal a doctor's labor? There is no such right.
Well, I am !
I was born and live in the Continent of America, Planet Earth, Solar System, ( Galaxy ? Galactic Cluster ? - Sorry, I never left the neighbourhood. Virgo, or something - forgive my ignorance of geography, please!).
I am not and have no intention of becoming a citizen of TheU.S.ofAmerica (a strange place that has no name, only a somewhat indistinct description, and a vague generalization - as when they name the continent instead of referring to themselves). Nothing against those who do, though. Must be fun for them, I suppose.
A free ride? You seem to be completely missing the point. Public health is vital for those who are live on or below the poverty line. Those underpriviledge who are in minimum-wage jobs or terminally unemployed will never be able to afford private health care. It's easy to blame them, but just as often economic or social factors are often responsible.
This is not about "stealing a doctor's label", nobody suggested they work for free. This is about a government being responsible for the welfare of its citizens - including the health, not just the "security of their homeland" or whatever. You seem to be rather smug about this topic, so obviously you're comfortable financially. If one of your loved ones needed a life-saving operation, but could not afford it, would you tell him/her that they have to deal with it because they're a "burden" who doesn't deserve a "free ride"?
I've had friends who have worked and gotten services in both systems, NHS and private American. Primary care (internists, pediatricians, first-line docs) does not have the disparities that secondary and tertiary care do (hospital care and advanced machinery), but both have massive wait times in the NHS whereas in the US you can get much quicker treatment, especially via private clinics.
