[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [QB] Okay... The highway system, IIRC, was made for national defense, which is covered by Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1. [i]"The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."[/i] The [i]"...common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; ..."[/i] can also be taken to mean NASA in its role of R&D for protection in and from space weapons, and ability to implement projects developed. The need to project power in an "Astriod"-movie type scenerio would be for the [i]"...general Welfare of the United States..."[/i], as well as the rest of the world. A slim possibility, but from what I've read still a chance. Also the technologies developed for both the highways and by NASA would also apply. Next? [/QB][/QUOTE]
