Are you saying that the asteroids are a life form?

If it really got us into space, that would be a good thing. Many useful things started out with military research and applications.

But $40 million does seem kind of puny.

To appropriate $40 million dollars for a program that demands at least 40 BILLION seems like sort of a mockery to me.

Another attempt at humor fails. :(

Of course you are correct, Kortie. :heart:

I should have gotten that, Blazing!

I did get it---afterwards!

It was great humor!

^^^HAHA :lol: took me a while to get that like all things. :nerdy: IOW it [space farce] is as counterfeit as its creator. figures. besides, since at least the late 40s many insiders have hinted that there already has been a black-budget-funded space force that is REAL. this one is strictly cosmetic.

This is like giving someone a computer with a 40 Megabyte hard drive-----in 2020!

The MINIMUM for a viable computer circa 2020 is about 500 GIGAbytes of hard drive.

$40 million dollars would have been an insult even in the late 40's.

It's like he wants to create a Boy Scout Space Force (not to insult the Boy Scouts!) He wants to play at getting people in space.

This is more an "appropriate" appropriation for the creation of a nationwide Boy Scout troop devoted to learning about space travel. A nice thing, yes....but not something which would cause a rocket to get off the ground.

No, not for the boy scouts. If Trump can't buy his own country from Denmark, then by all means, we have to conquer atleast one other planet before his term is up!

That would take at least a TRILLION dollars......

It's like throwing a drop of water on a blazing wildfire....
