[QUOTE]Originally posted by thoughtychops: [QB] Reagan spent 1.2 trillion on the Star Wars program in his eight years in office. Personally, I don't see what the big deal about spending 800 billion on a mission to mars is, comparatively. It's not like anybody is going to see a red cent of that money anyway. But I'm not a fool. I know the space program is always the first thing to be cut by congress. They'd rather fund studies on ketchup viscosity. Speaking of the Chinese, it's pretty likely that they will build a space station. Much of the R&D has already been done. The technology is thirty years old. They already have some lower end boosters that can reach near earth orbit. I think the state department is probably a bit more concerned about this than we think they are. Men, after all, are not the only thing you can put inside of those boosters. You can also put warheads on them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
