Did not read the link, but nasa should have an unlimited budget and be able to do anything they want.

They landed on the rough ridin' moon.

I don't have a problem with asking, but like most things, why couldn't a simple call or email suffice.   "Hey uh, that viking picture stuff didn't use any (X) funds and was not-for-profit right?"

But hey, it's politicians and gov't.

Great side NASA story.  CNS Grandpa worked there in like the '70's or something.

He said that a bunch of the engineers used to use the left over project materials to build BBQ grills.  Like, really elaborate ones.  How awesome would that be?

I am pro-NASA getting stupid high levels of funding because space is super cool and I would like to see a few of these grills hit ebay.

Most gov't agencies would have required that left over material to either be tossed in the dumpster or sold at auction.

I think they view universities as overwhelmingly liberal and can't separate that fact from the good that comes from science. (My theory).

Not sure you two know this or not, or are hoping nobody notices the fallacy in your statement which permits you to reach your libtard point of view, but not all university faculty are scientists.

Nothing says anti-science like asking NASA to focus on manned space flights back to the moon and to explore establishing a base on the moon (which would likely facilitate missions like capturing asteroids and likely moving on to Mars).   

Even one of the Dems quoted in the article said they weren't that enthused by NASA's presentation about capturing the asteroid,  but it appears that the resident Obamabot lemmings think that a gov't agency can just show up with some half ass uninspiring plan and legislators are just supposed to throw open the checkbook and hand over a blank check.    :jerk:  :rolleyes:

The irony here is that you drink the right wing kool-aid more than any of us drink up the left wing BS.  Republicans (and Democrats for that matter) have no business telling NASA where to focus their efforts.  Let the scientists and the engineers do their jobs, approve/disapprove their budget, and move on.  This is just another case of Republican obstructionism in an area of government that used to be pretty bipartisan.
