How? Again the myopia of seeing the space program as being a standalone product....google benefits of the nasa space program. the intellectual property generated by space programs (a group of scientists seated somewhere trying to find better ways to travel and beat nature)is immense from winglets on the tip of plane wings that save billions of dollars on fuel to things in medicine. check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/...A_spin-off_technologies plus the benefit that one day Jupiter may not be able to absorb an earth bound asteroid or comet (or my draw one which was not heading in this direction originally to be earth bound) you will need proven stuff to do what Bruce Willis did in 1998!

Mariana's trench any one? harvesting heavy water. benefits are immense! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
