Congress holds hearings like this all the time but the only reason we know about this one is because it involved a famous baseball player.

Bangladesh? I am from the other side of Burma...Thailand @Adfecto - All joking aside. I used to be an Astronomy geek in college and I support NASA spending. I think it's cool to push ourselves to th limit. @Ron – The government has analysts whose sole purpose is to keep track of those things ;-)

What the heck does Congress have to do with these topics? If Arlen Spector was from my district I'd boot him out ASAP. There are real issues that need to be addressed not this crap. We have laws on the books to deal with using, possessing, dispensing and distributing these drugs. This matter is for the Drug Enforcement Agency (which still is not exactly my personal favorite agency or legal initiative). I completely disagree with those railing against NASA. It is everybody's favorite punching bag when it comes to spending, but it does some great things. It is a technology incubator, it spurs innovation, it funds important research that helps all of us. The very visible shuttle program is only a tiny part of the work that gets done. All of this costs less than 0.135% of the gross domestic product and only 0.6% of the total Federal Budget. Each American taxpayer kicks in an average of $60 a year to fund NASA. That about a cup of coffee each morning (and I don't means Starbucks either). Please take some time to read up on all of the things NASA does and how it is actually accomplished for a very reasonable (I'd say small) amount of money. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2009/nasa.html http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2007/11/21/nasas-budget-as-far-as-americans-think/ I’m completely with you on this.

And then I flip the channel because baseball is so boring to watch. Sigh...I'm sad football season is over...how am I going to survive until the fall......luckily there is the Olympics rolling by this summer.

My Government is getting itself well known for this. We are building a gazillion Ringgit sports centre in London, when our sports guys get whipped by next door Myanmar. Our Universities are getting lower and lower ratings each passing year, and our Authorities seem to consider these ratings fixed! Like someone once said, If the Government were to be put in charge of the Sahara Desert, we will run out of sand in 5 years!

It's seems like you have to be rich and famous before that happens. Mike I agree – I’m sometimes amazed at the names I see that are called before “congressional hearings” .

Frankly I would cut a ton out before NASA, BTW. It is a great tech lab for the country. Not to mention how many people have become engineers due to the program. That being said it has been poorly managed since 1971. It needs a wholesale shake up. Wanna be really scared see how much of the Federal Education Budget goes to students outside of Pell Grants...
