Is NASA Big Brothers little sister?

all the top people in NASA are Masons

Nasa is big brother

Your driving to and from work every day for a year puts out more pollution (carbon) into the environment than the shuttle which uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen which create an exhaust of water vapor. There are only one or two shuttle flights per year now.

What benefits have we received and continue to receive?

There are weather and cartographic programs, medical breakthroughs, software breakthroughs, new alloys.. all from research that originated for the shuttle program.

One really cool thing I read about is a insulating powder they discovered that can now be mixed into any kind of paint increasing your energy savings.

I, for one, hope we never lose NASA.

Ok the image satelight stuff like google earth gets a little creepy on NASA's part...and the whole blue beam projects and stuff like that, I mean it's ALOT screwed up...

So we're through learning about space?

Interesting.
