  • @QwukeStudioz Nothing out of it? Are you sure? GPS, Internet, Satellite TV, LED's, Teflon, Meteorological tracking, Biomedical monitoring equipment, Cell phones, super-efficient solar cells, the list goes on and on. If not for the space race and current space endeavors, you would not be sitting in-front of your computer right now calling bullshit to the cause that allowed you to call bullshit.. There wouldn't even be a silicon valley without the space program.

  • I don't care what anyone says. This is money well spent.
