I'm not saying it's a worthless program. But right now we need to be paying down our debts more than we need to be spending more - and that even goes for difficult-to-stomach stuff like killing the space program.
Hell, I'd like a Citation X but I don't have one because I don't have the money for it. Yes, it would be a symbol of personal pride, it would give me some great ideas and would create jobs but the bottom line is I don't have one because there ain't the dollars in my account to pay for it. Gov't shouldn't be any different. It's not about what we want, it's about what we can actually afford that will pay justifiable dividends. Constellation falls short of that mark.
