I don't know about anyone else but the amount of money spent on this stuff would be far better off spent on vets returning from the wars and are homeless. Seems our gov would rather play in space than care for these young men and women.

Thank you Sue if we bring these things to everyones attention maybe they will see how wasteful this is. And not enough is done for the returning vets regardless of whether they are injured or not. The homeless plight just in the Sacramento area is awful and needs to be taken care of swiftly
