Really ehat I am saying is that you are complaining that you are glad no tax money goes toeards this ark, when according to NASA it cost around $450 million per launch.
Now I wonder where they get this money from.  RE: Raiders of the lost tax break.

You think a for-profit mock ark and space exploration are in the same category, C4?
(NASA's budget, btw...miniscule. If all of our agencies did as much with so little there likely -would- be fewer problems in the world.)

Fractions of a percent fit my definition of miniscule (and take a look on the return, btw...impressive list of tech we use everyday that got it's start at NASA).

I personally feel that a lot of the space exploration stuff is more to do with just wanting to do it, with any benefits that are being sought a secondary rationalization.
But still, insulting another organisation does not validate your own. Its called the two cocks fallacy. Feel free to send me a private message.

We do it because we want to, sure, but we also do it because it's research - and we do expect something out of it. They don't just send up whatever crosses the mind of an intern. It's a big to-do.
(they also use cheaper platforms, when an experiment can be accomplished by, say, a balloon..or a twin engine prop.)

It's a worthwhile place to spend money. If god wants us to learn about the ark, he can always make it rain gold from the sky.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
