We can afford a trillion dollars a year to kill brown people.  We can even afford half a trillion every year on entertainment. But nothing, nada, zero for manned space exploration. Among the galaxy's sentient species, we are the basement-dwelling underachiever. Nice funeral procession for NASA’s manned space program.
