2.3 billion is a lot of money to be spending on a project that may or may not benefit this planet. I don't know, but maybe NASA could help out the U.S. economy instead. Just dreaming.
One day the work that NASA has done(is doing) will benefit this country (World) in ways that cannot now even be imagined.

Just the benefits you'll find at the hospital more than make up for every dime spent.
