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.

    what you want is respect. which you will not receive if you think and say things ridiculously out of connection with reality

    companies will not spend extra money to protect the environment. unless forced to

    they will happily pollute and avoid the consequences. because its cheaper

    this is a fact of your reality

    you can reject this fact, and thereby remain a propagandized retard people will just laugh at, or you can accept it and being to actually make sense in your opinions about topics you currently are nothing more than a joke in

    choose

    but if you continue to believe in moronic things, you will be called a moron. not a baseless insult, an objective truth, to have the retarded opinion you do. and thus, you will not receive the respect you think you deserve, but currently you do not. because you're DUMB
