Morphine Prince 109,983 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's the first time in seven years that there has been an authorization bill for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, also known as NASA, said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a chief sponsor of the bill. Cruz joined several astronauts and other lawmakers in the Oval Office to watch Trump sign the bill. Last week, Trump sent Congress a budget proposal that would authorize $19.1 billion in agency spending next year. Congress appropriates funding for all government departments and agencies. "For almost six decades, NASA's work has inspired millions and millions of Americans to imagine distant worlds and a better future right here on earth," Trump said. "I'm delighted to sign this bill. It's been a long time since a bill like this has been signed, reaffirming our commitment to the core mission of NASA: human space exploration, space science and technology." The measure amends current law to add human exploration of the red planet as a goal for the agency. It supports use of the International Space Station through at least 2024, along with private sector companies partnering with NASA to deliver cargo and experiments, among other steps.

CyanLights 15,576 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 There are so many other issues on our planet that the money could be going towards.

Capitilsm is to blame for the issues we have here. Need healthcare? Well, pay up! Need a home? Pay up! Need food? Pay up! Need absolutely anything? Pay up! Homelessness and poverty are great references to show how Capitilsm is wrong. How is it fair how millions of people can bask in wealth and have an abundance of everything, while there are people on this planet who have nothing. Scientific advancement (going to Mars) is a major step forward for humanity. Tell this to the rich. They're the ones who need to pay up. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
