    In the film Armageddon, a takeaway line was "No More Taxes!" But taxes are what funded the NASA mission that saved the world

        @neiltyson Also, in ARMAGEDDON, it's apparently easier to train drillers to be astronauts than astronauts to be drillers.

        @neiltyson Could IDF's defense mechanism "Iron Dome" prevent asteroid debris from impacting their cities?

        @neiltyson bull crap. Congress probably ok'd the mission and just raised the debt ceiling.

        @neiltyson Yes, but it's just for the astronauts saving the world, not everyone. I think it's a reasonable request.

        @neiltyson Was willing to die to save the world, but no longer wanted to support, contribute or live under the violent tax laws. Hmmm
