Ohhhhh you're mixing up "not sending humans into orbit to chill out" with "not doing useful space research"
Seriously, humans cost *so* much to get up there. It cost us over $150 billion (inflation-adjusted) to go to the moon. The ISS has (coincidentally) also cost about $150 billion so far.
Opportunity and Spirit cost us less than a billion. Sending Cassini to orbit Saturn was about $3 billion.
Do you think the ISS has provided 50x the value of Cassini? As much value as we could have gotten from 300 rovers?
This just in, taxes are violent, therefore we should have a government that runs entirely on charitable donations. Therefore, it's hypocritical for any tax-funded government to worry about murdering.
Sorry about your misanthropy; but I'm actually worried about *actual* violence perpetuated by our government. You know, like slaughtering civilians in those silly sand countries.
Which is obviously not how we measure effectiveness. There's a 2% chance *per year* that a couple that use condoms as their only birth control method will get pregnant and say they didn't mess it up. ("No, I swear, we put the condom on and pinched the air out of it but it didn't work.")
In the period of the review, there were 5,651 prosecutions for rape and 111,891 for domestic violence. During the same period there were 35 prosecutions for making false allegations of rape, six for making false allegation of domestic violence and three for making false allegations of both rape and domestic violence.
So you know, there's some conclusive research you can look at.

You didn't know it was greenwow the whole time? Goodness.
Just yesterday I saw a woman who posted on her Facebook page three times before she jumped. Even if it's not the "usual" case, it still happens.
Because getting a new windows/mac devbox costs like $500. Not porting to Linux can cost you (conceivably) tens of thousands of dollars.
I can't believe you're trying to censor me!! I'll say "Slippery slope" as much as I want, it's my god dang given right as a Patriot of America!
You live a strange life, and care about such narrow things. Take some time off, go camping in the mountains, reconnect with yourself.
Oh cool, now we know where all the pedos are going.
Those sneaky SJWs and their shadow cabal.
Couldn't possibly be that your particular fringe brand of "I got mine; fuck all y'all" is just being recognized for what it is.
Getting chained up in a dungeon is equivalent to getting a post deleted.
Good job kid.
There have been a lot of companies that made really bad decisions
Why is Apple basically a Phone Company?
Yeah, that worked out really poorly for them.
Same. Kinda ruined my opinion of him. :/

The left is cutting NASA's budgets?

News flash: 500,000 years ago was 500,000 years ago. Things change.
Anti-vaxxers on slashdot? Don't they revoke your geek card for that?
You're purposefully conflating the "assertive/proactive" and "violent" meanings of the word.
how insidious!
Ah yes, how could I forget the episode where Jerry Springer proved that feminist forbade male birth control?
"Breakthrough in face recognition software"
"The idea is to train a many-layered neural network using a vast database of annotated examples"
How novel.
Prosecutions, not convictions.

Oh my god, no, keep your gross ass out of the LGBT community.

That 2% also includes dudes who did not use a condom, but were too embarrassed to say so (or too idiot to realize so).
