there are so many social problems at home. Goldin responded, mat he was sympathetic to
such feelings, but concerned that they ignore the importance of NASA's role in creating
"opportunity for the future. Imagine that. He forgot to mention a well know previous agenda:
a "Man on Mars" at a projected cost of around a trillion dollars.
Consider, just by reducing our federal taxes, the amount of the current NASA budget of
14 billion would be a great start at healing many of our social problems. I speak of
building more prisons, reducing the homeless, etc. Economic slavery and social problems
are almost synonymous.
Now that I have been educated by my readers I see that half the people in prison are
there for taking drugs and are serving manditory sentences. Many real criminals are walking
free because they became "snitches" for the power structure.
Another person questioned whether NASA was beginning to sound like Star Trek Never
mind that the production techniques were similar, at least Star Trek was entertaining, and
didn't cost us forty billion bucks.
A civilian scientist complained that a new space station would be too costly for the
science it could accomplish. I strongly doubt that the sauna called Skylab accomplished
anything. If the Russians have told the truth, their MIR ships have a lot of experience at
living in space and should probably be duplicated. Fortunately, Congress killed the space
station in November 1993.
In large print filling the entire inner margin of "the invitation" is a comment complaining
about NASA's attempt to become another social service bureaucracy. Also, one engineer
displayed a carabiner clip for climbing, he bought at a sporting goods store for $20. He
complained that the same clip costs NASA $1000. The administrator ignored this question,
of course. This engineer apparently didn't understand that this is the method by which secret
funds are accumulated. This purchase would bring back about $900 in cash to be spent on
secret budgets or to be pilfered.
Another man called the space station a dud, and another predicted that it would take over
one hundred years before a space colony could survive. A woman, trapped in poverty,
rightfully complained that the space program is not real to the homeless and other low
income people. But, hey, it wasn't "real" to Buzz Aldrin either.
Found on the inner margin of another page is the surprising, but anonymous quote, "The
many self-serving statements regarding NASA's mission and achievements serve to highlight
my misgivings about the status of the agency. In particular, flights of fancy regarding
resources and benefits that might accrue from human, Mars, moon and asteroid exploration
are not founded in science." Reprinting such comments, by NASA, may make them seem
open and above board. But beware, their Mars agenda is still paramount.
Similarly, a large print, top to bottom inner margin, comment made by another detractor
said, "As long as there are so many Americans who can't afford health insurance, who don't
have a home, who don't have sufficient [food] to eat, I think sinking money in NASA is a
crime against this nation."
