Social Security is a topic for another thread. Suffice to say the previous poster stated that he thought NASA is a waste of money, I tried to put it in perspective in terms of the total federal budget and what much larger sums of money are spent on.

I do stand by my statement that NASA's budget is money well spent compared to many other government programs.
