How about auctioning off the big piece of moon rock that they didn't brink back. That ought to fund space exploration for a long time without having to worry about congress cutting their budget. Of course they would have to do it before someone else (China) lands on it and claims it.
Why? This is (or supposed to be) a free country, you should be able to join any organisation you want.
"Private sector unions must be voluntary.:"
All union membership should be voluntary, and no employee, publis or private should be penalized for belonging to any union, politcal group or religious group.
Find a way to quiet the noise of the rotors so your passengers can hear the music. I'm sure the people and animals on the ground would appreciate it too.
(Don't say it can't be done, Seal team 6 has some pretty quiet helicopters.)
"And the newton cradle was not invented my newton. "
Of course not - he was only a baby at the time.
That reminds me of something I heard the other day about the political conventions. "Every politician claims to have been born in the log cabin they built with their own hands."
"Actually, it's the other way round : parliament has to consult the Queen and the Prince of Wales before introducing new legislation, to ensure there is no harm to their private interests. This little known Royal Veto [guardian.co.uk] has been described by constitutional lawyers as a "royal nuclear deterrent"."
England is a Constitutional Monarchy, The Sovereign is mainly a 'rubber stamp' on legislation. (Charles doesn't even have that role until his mother dies or abdicates) The same is also true of most of the other countries that have The Queen as Head of State (eg Canada, New Zealand)
To construct a starship over the next 100 years? Or to build a starship that will travel (to another star system) over a period of 100 years?
I think that we (terran civilisation) could construct a multigenerational; slow starship in about a century - but it would take millenea to get anywhere.
If we work on things a bit longer we might come up with a bussard ramjet that could get pretty close to the speed of light, and get some relativity advantage
But for usable interstellar travel we need some way of going faster than light (warp drive,or hyperspace or warp points/jump gates) Who knows how long that will take to invent/find
I think the term 'bear arms' implies the weapons have to be small enough to be carried by one man. So tanks would be out, but RPG's Carl Gustav recoiless rifles and Stinger anti air missiles would fall into thw 'bear'able category.

NASA found the Holy GRAIL on the moon? That might be one way to get more funding from the(R)ight wing nutjobs that want to close NASA down
