AllPossible Posted December 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) That's actually really cool.. I don't understand, why is funding so low for projects like this. Government needs to stop all the free welfare and medicaid to people who don't appreciate it anyway and start funding cool missions like this... So many pos people out there who soak up the system, stop spending on them and do some cool space exploration ****.. Sorry folks just woke up and ranting lol Edited December 17, 2018 by AllPossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry folks just woke up and ranting lol Funding may be low due to the extent of new technology/equipment needed. Some other projects might be deemed more viable/closer to reality than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelion318 Posted December 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Cool they can scare the crap out of Europeans(?) and pre-prep the place for final desecration by humans. I love how other planets are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, hospitals, doctors, and medical supply companies gouging it is... I totally agree on "free welfare" though. Cut the military budget and raise the taxes on the wealthy and big businesses. The only "welfare" in the US is the government helping the rich; people who don't need any help. Edited December 17, 2018 by Seti42 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry folks just woke up and ranting lol Honestly its just crazy to me that people worry so much about the tiny little percentage that goes to helping people who need it but dont acknowledge the majority that goes into politicians pockets and the war machine. Your mad that a family that couldn't afford it got food to eat but not when the money is spent on sending arms overseas or buying the govenor a new jet? That being said i strongly agree with the first couple sentences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted December 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Can we please keep the subject on topic and relevant. We have a US Politics forum for discussions on U.S. political issues which is the appropriate place for discussions on Medicaid and other non-space related budgetary issues. Thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
