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.

why does the far right hate scientists and university faculty? is it just the money involved?

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

[star seed 7]

That, and they are so biased themselves that they figure any development from a liberal has to be fabricated.

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.

You may have well as said, "why does the far right hate scientists and women"

Agree, he is very stupid for this. Should have cut from defense to fund NASA.

Hmmm, good question.

ppl hate to feel stupid and often strike against things that make them feel so.

As a moderate, I love the idea of scientists and universities as non-partisan stewards of knowledge that keep personal political biases personal. Same for the media, but I don't hold out much hope for either.

Taking man-made global warming out of the picture, what are some other examples of scientists' personal political biases affecting their science?
