I am sure that many are happy to learn that the shuttle has returned safely to Kennedy Space Center. Honestly, I could care less. Of course I don’t want anyone aboard the shuttle to not return back home to their families, but my beef is this: what is the point of the space program?

We have had it for years and I have yet to hear anyone with or without authority to tell me in no uncertain terms how the space program benefits America. I think that it is totally useless. We don’t need it. It has become our sacred cow.

If the space program were cut, America would not have a deficit. The space program costs us millions and billions of dollars each year… dollars that we don’t have. Yet for whatever reason, no one in Washington is man or woman enough to admit it and put a stop to it.

And before you go running sideways about people losing their jobs… where would those same people be working if there had never been a space program? Ask yourself that honest question! Exactly, they would find employment elsewhere.
