        @neiltyson if it were 5 pages it would proportionately match the % of the federal budget dedicated to the space program.

        @neiltyson perhaps if the space program killed people and took their land, it could get more attention

        @neiltyson The thing is, we have not yet moved far enough away from it to understand its effects. If we did, we wouldn't be cutting funding.

        @neiltyson I remember that. Then I moved on to primary source analysis with the IB program. Way more prepared for uni history survey courses
