NASA is an unconstitutional abomination and should be abolished!

[Rachel Rugelach]

The constitution's role is to limit the power of the government, do you agree?

The Constitution's role is to provide the terms and conditions by which the United States is governed. The Constitution limits the government only in terms of dividing power among its three branches: Legislative (Congress), Executive (President, Vice President, and Cabinet), and Judicial (Supreme Court). This is what serves as our checks and balances on government.

Don't they still teach this in Millennials School?

Do you agree that the US government is capable of misusing funds?

Good luck abolishing NASA

Thanks.

Of course I agree. For example, whichever public school system funded your education may be in need of some scrutiny.

Edited to add: Maybe the blame doesn't fall on the school, though. Apologies to any teachers here. I can see how difficult your job must be.

 

[Flat Earth Kyle]

, whichever public school system funded your education may be in need of some scrutiny.

That is a rule 1 violation.

 

[Flat Earth Kyle]

Of course I agree.

So you agree that the government shouldn't be able to spend money however it wants?

 

[Rachel Rugelach]

That is a rule 1 violation.

Criticizing our public schools is a rule 1 violation? What country do you live in?

NASA should instead be exploring Earth's
edges & what's underneath. Could be
turtles there, eh.

This was covered up. They did send some expeditions, but the turtles ate them.

Carnivorous turtles?
Or vegetarians with bad eyesight?

Get real. It was the elephants riding the turtles that ate them. Flipped em up into their mouths with their trunks like they were tiny peanuts

Misusing funds is not unconstitutional.

If you want to abolish NASA you need to find and elect people to congress who want to abolish NASA. You know how hard that would be to do because even the American voters are not that stupid (yet).

That's a good point, depending on where they looked, the Great A'Tuin is not flexible enough to reach those hard to get explorer's.

Here is a photo from Hubble showing the greater reach of the elephants

I KNEW my tax dollars were going to good use!

The things are big enough to support the Earth. You can't apply the characteristics of Earthly turtles to them.

Could have been I suppose. They didn't come back is the main thing.

The pic is from Terry Pratchett's Diskworld series of books. Extremely funny, satire at it's best, shining a laser beam at the failings of humanity.
I am somewhat biased, the first book i ever read was "The Colour of Magic", i was hooked and over the years I've read them all.

Ok, advertising blurb over ;-)

I keep intending to read Pratchett's series! Right now I'm in the middle of Dean Koontz's Devoted. Very creepy horror, like a lot of Koontz's novels, but this one has a golden retriever hero in it.

I've got a book recommendation for the OP:

OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say?: A Non-Boring Guide to How Our Democracy is Supposed to Work: Sheehan, Ben: 9780762498482: Amazon.com: Books

Great book. I recommend it to lots of people, actually. Ben Sheehan gives not only an informative overview of our Constitution, but a very entertaining one, as well!
