    "Is traveling to the space station so important now, when the general economy is struggling so"

    The advancement of space technology is an important aspect of the modern world. The advancement of humans should continue even in the midst of hardships. If you really want to cut some costs, turn your cable off. That will save the individual tax payer more than if they cut the space program.

    I find it ironic, and to a degree quite funny, the types of people that are republicans, especially in my area. It is usally the people that do not benefit from republican decisions, and usually the ones the benefit from the "socialist" programs in this country that they will not admit at being so if they benefit.
