I am more than glad to admit that I am not the smartest guy around. I
am also glad to admit that I don't fully understand politics, finance
and I never saw Star Wars. However, I don't think these shortcomings
should discount my opposition to spending $79 million dollars to crash a
rocket and satellite into the moon in search of WATER.
Call me crazy, but last I checked, we have some water HERE. I just ran to the men's room to double check. Yes indeed. We still have some here on Earth. Now I don't know how the people at NASA came up with this idea, but I really don't think it is a good one. Who cares if there is water on the moon. None of us are going to be going there anytime soon. And if we do, I think we will likely just bring a couple of bottles with us. I just bought a bottle out of the WGN cafeteria for $1.00 and I think that price is a rip off!!! $79 million is crazy.
Now that I have demonstrated my brilliant understanding of science and research, let me get into the math part of the problem. As of October 9th 2009, the United States is $11,932,420,728,854.50 in DEBT. That is almost 12 Trillion dollars. The National Debt has increased an average of $3.94 billion since September 2007. Hello!!! At some point we are going to have to stop spending money. We are going through it like WATER...
I will say that NASA is probably one of the more noble government entities, however, you are embarrassing yourself by looking for water on the moon. We have water here. A lot of it. Even if you find an endless supply that you want to bring back down to earth, it is going to cost even more money to get a big enough garden hose that won't kink up between the moon and the earth. The hose will cost $5 billion. Plus the earth is rotating. If that doesn't kink up the hose, something else will. It will all be a big waste. Trust me. My brother was a landscaper.
So, before you go starting up these projects that cost millions of dollars that we don't have, think the project all the way through.
That's how I see it. Mr. Konrad
