We are paying our taxes for this guy to play with water's service tension and heat convection. $20 K for the cooper wire loop, $50K for the solder iron, and $140 billion for his play pin. Gezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

9# Off duty time, what is his real job at a cost of $20 million and getting there by Russian rocket, a NASA preferred foreign-vendor. Your right, why worry, a wasted billion here and a billion there doesn't add up to real money. What the hell NASA is only $18.7 billion budget, so why worry about blowing money on a space program after all we are only $15,564,809,891,767.99 in debt.

We will only pay 4.8 trillion dollars for interest payments on the debt in the next decade. Enjoy the entertainment while it lasts.

#12 the discussion was on the subject of NASA. I'm quite aware of that the US military is 43 percent of the worlds total military funding or 54% of the US budget. I agree with you this is absurd and immediately following is social programs at 36 percent followed by general government at 11 percent.
