Thank you Paul, I truly appreciate it.
However, this just proves what I have believed for a long
time. First, in response to questions like this people are going to list
those items which effect their lives immediately first. Second, the
average citizen has no understanding of the benefits derived from
science R&D including space exploration and no real
vision of the future (NASA has failed at public relations). Finally,
note that they support manned over unmanned and they are for
keeping funding the same (not ending it as you have suggested).
I am bothered by the fact that nobody asked the question if funding
should increase at the inflation rate.
