Research into technologies capable of transporting people to Mars is pretty likely to result in something like that. Just throwing that out there.
No doubt. There are many technologies we use daily that were born from the space race.

Didn't click the link, but I think it's 19.5B/year
Not 19.5B to go to Mars.
It's gonna cost a hell of a lot more than that.

I don't know...it sounds like they approved the same budget as the last couple years and just told them we need to go to Mars

Boom. Breesus is catching it from all sides for his stupid comment. You'd swear this thread was about south park.

Using a nineties joke formula to call something dated is either brilliantly ironic or really dumb. Which do you think?

Damn, I thought for sure we would get to Mars before I turned sixty. I'm going to bump this post then. i hope I have caught up to SFP in posts by then.
I also hope by then the "think to text" app makes typing quicker.
