Republicans don't care about space either, so this person is lying even within the context of her terrible analogy. They also don't care about road maintenance or developing infrastructure, so driving (the supposedly superior alternative to train travel) feels awful as well.

We most definitely need to run at least a few tests, I think we have enough departments that have volunteered themselves at this point

They're also painfully bad at making arguments. The argument in that thread is trains only work at the coast, where all the people live. Like thats a point against trains. If you can't get a train to bumfuck, ohio then trains are useless or something.

It's okay because people in bumfuck, ohio don't believe public transit works even in major cities where everyone lives. They did a real good job poisoning that well

I understand she's talking about aerospace engineering as apart from travel, but even so, how does advancing in space rocket technology really help us? I don't give a gently caress about Mars, I don't give a gently caress about the Moon - who gives a poo poo?

The only reason Trump didn’t scrap the James Webb Space Telescope and ran off with its golden solar panels is that NASA convinced him they were actually just big honey combs. I guarantee it.

There's also plenty of chew necklaces and whatnot for autistic kids and adults. And if dog chew toys are safe for dogs they should be safe for humans who want to get their gnaw on.

Because the problem with trains, you see, is that they are too quiet and fuel efficient.

Theoretically, if you could make rockets cheap enough, long-distance travel would be really fast and efficient if you could go up out of the atmosphere, do the lengthy part of the travel in a vacuum, then come back down at your destination. Of course it's pretty debatable if we can ever make what's basically a directed explosion cheap and safe enough for that to be feasible, not to mention the hazards of atmospheric reentry. But I've heard it be proposed. By lunatics.

Not to mention several of the world's more influential countries wouldn't really like a bunch of objects launched into NEO, then falling back to earth, since they like to be warned of, and able to easily track such objects.
