Reply #71: Some of us liberals recognize that is much, much more to science than space travel

[GoCubsGo]

Some of us are just sick of seeing billions of dollars being pumped into the space program every year, while scientists in all the other branches of science get their funding whacked, and struggle for the limited research dollars. Especially when some of those billions go toward repeating things that have been done already--like going back to the moon. Meanwhile, we have plant and animal species going extinct all around us, many of which we know next to nothing about. How many cures for diseases are we losing along with them? We'll never know.
