Bro, of all the stupid shit we spend taxes on ($50 billion on corn subsidies), you're mad about space exploration?

I will guess that farm subsidies go to... well, farming. Doesn't sound completely ridiculous at first sight.

Exploration? It's not exploration at all: it's sending 4 humans for a 10 days trip around the Moon. I wish they used the money for actual space exploration, though.

    Or not farming. Lots of CRE. Also constant bail-outs because e.g. the soybean farmers got tariffed. Also ethanol.
