No one talks this way, that's why this show is perfect.

To tax payers who complain about how much space flight costs, weather it be grants to private contractors or discretionary spending towards NASA I have only one thing to say: You are a bunch of short sighted little monkeys who cannot see the opportunity staring mankind in the face that spaceflight offers; please stop your complaining and let the engineers do their jobs.

@YNot1989 I'm not religious, but A Freaking Men!

@YNot1989 By the by, the shuttle program only cost 7 billion a year. That is not even a drop in the bucket and wouldn't make a difference if we diverted that cash elsewhere.

[scottb3034]

@scottb3034 Make a difference to the programs we diverted the cash to. The space program obviously makes a difference.

I think somebody's going to follow in Bartlet's footsteps...:)

[YNot1989]

That was the stupidest argument to go to Mars I have ever heard. We don't want to go because "its next," we need to go because we can't just live on Earth for ever, and the untold riches of space could bring about a new era of prosperity the likes of which that no one alive today has ever even thought of.

Has anyone seen The Farnsworth Invention? Aaron Sorkin uses the exact same speech at the very end of the play.

[larmanio]

I thank you too, but I will give it 5 more second to complete the scene

[Rotarrin]

Great little speech by Sam. Thanks for posting it!

[kyashi1024]

Sam has great rants/speeches, one of my fave WW moments
