The paltry amount of funding for the US space program, a constructive
endeavor, in comparison to the tens of billions of dollars squandered
annually on useless war, a destructive action, is moot testament to
our nation's reprehensible lack of foresight and the ravenous appetite
of those currently in power for plundering the coffers of the US
Treasury. So while the space shuttle program has become a somewhat
regular and repetitious assertion of man's noble intent to continue to
explore the frontiers of his environment in search of the riches he
may find there, the state of war entreats emergency funding, and at
times extra-constitutional power, that provides an opportunity for
increasing the wealth of those in power and oppressing the populous.
