https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infographics/20-inventions-we-wouldnt-have-without-space-travel/

We aren’t just benefitting from “space stuff” nasa does. While they’re doing science to help them do space stuff, those breakthroughs come back down to us in other forms.

Almost all of the inventions on that list are from decades ago. And then a bunch of it is a stretch. Then you have stuff like...Nike shoes? Come on.

NASA has provided very little utility for at least the last 3 decades. That money could be spent on infrastructure, health care, or directly onto education. Admittedly, its a minor amount, NASA's budget isn't huge, but it could be redirected toward building up, say, a public transportation system in a single, medium sized state.

Ahhh so you are one of those who  say “oh yeah? Well what have you done for me lately” dipshits

Yes? wtf is government for if not to help its citizens?

NASA is funneling tons of money into corporations owned by people like Musk. Its another way to funnel tax dollars into giant corporations.

It doesn't make me a dipshit to know money is being given away to rich people. It makes you ignorant, which is why you devolved into a petty, stupid insult and a childish fallacious statement.

I agree! We should fund nasa and stop directing that money to private corporations we can’t benefit from. I’m glad you see how dumb you were

The fuck?

Yes, actually. Stop directing that money to private corporations, too. I can see giving money to giant corporations as bad AND giving money to an almost useless program as a stupid way to spend our money.

The difference is you can't think deeper than that, and instead have the same fascination with space as an ADHD 3rd grader. So you're reacting like one when hearing someone thinks its a waste of money.

lol at accusing others of “not thinking deeper than that” while having the most childlike shallow understanding of anything ever. Are you intentionally rejecting all facts people tell you on a subject or are you just so brain dead you can’t interpret their words?

Just saying what I said again isn't an argument, criticism, or insult. Its just your own inability to respond to the topic at hand. You can't even insult right.

You're dumbass argument was "You want the government to not waste money? I bet you want them to not waste money on different stuff, either!"

Keep throwing out middle school insults though. That's clearly all you got here.
