NASA Knows How To Party

doug141 writes "NASA spends between $400,000 and $1.3 million on a party at every shuttle launch, according to CBS. Select personnel are treated to 5 days at a 4 star hotel. This year alone, they've spent $4 million on parties. NASA asked for, and was given, $1 billion more from the Senate this year. NASA proponents argue it makes more sense to give money to talented, productive people in exchange for scientific knowledge, than spend in on unproductive people in the form of straight welfare."

Has nothing to do with the foam. The shuttle was a stupid goal from the moment of its conception.

Perhaps one shouldn't insult their intelligence. Perhaps it might be better to point out the lack of wisdom involved in the goals set.

Very smart to get that tub off the ground at all. Foolish waste of resources, lives and time to try in the first place though. Have a dunce cap, go count some matchsticks in the corner and when we need a human calculator, we'll call you.

Better?
