While I support the space program as a rule, this isnt the space program. This is just for thrills and tourism and the taxpayers get to foot the bill. Glad I dont live in New Mexico.

There isn't anything else in New Mexico. It's all desert. They need tourists. Is it on a indian ranch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end though, if space tourism takes off (and i think it will), this will pay for it's self many times over. I tell you know if I had the money I would buy myself a seat or more and go. Just to see the earth from space live, to gaze across the magnificence of God's creation and to be humbled by the sight of His awesome handiwork. Man that would be worth every single last dollar.

Though in all honesty, when it comes to government spending 7 million really isnt that much anymore. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
