Donald Trump Thinks Going To Mars Would Be "Wonderful" But There Is a Catch

MarkWhittington writes: Donald Trump, the mercurial real estate tycoon and media personality who, much to the surprise of one and all, has become the front-runner for the Republican nomination for president opened his mind just a little about his attitude toward space exploration, according to a story in Forbes. In an answer to a question put to him about sending humans to Mars, the current focus at NASA, Trump said, "Honestly, I think it's wonderful; I want to rebuild our infrastructure first, ok? I think it's wonderful." In other words, dreams of going to Mars must take a back seat to more Earthly concerns. It is not an answer many space exploration supporters want to hear.

    propagandized retard goes "all government bad, corporations good!"

    so, let's say there is no EPA. so then companies pollute the fuck out of everything 1,000x worse than BP and this spill on the Colorado

    right?

    do you actually think before developing an opinion or do you just regurgitate what you hear on your corporate sponsored conservative media like a good little low iq tool? there, there, good angry right wing moron, agitating for your own impoverishment and poisoning so someone else can make millions more

    but, nah: the EPA fucked up, so all government is bad and corporations are innocent angels devoid of harm (nevermind the fact they are the fucks that created the pools the EPA screwed up on)
