Evidently lots of people enjoy pissing away money on nothing. Either that or they have no idea how much it really costs and how little we benefit from those huge costs.
$17.6 BILLION in 2009, and that's just to fly the same shuttle into a orbit a couple of times and maybe send another robot to mars where it might be able to pick up some rocks or it might not.
How much will each of you benefit from that? will you get your money's worth?
If we actually decide to try and send people to mars you can bet that budgetary number will have to increase a hundred-fold at least.
