What a nice and well-balanced fella.

And mr. Nobel invented dynamite. Should i shun Nelson Mandela because he won the price named after somebody whose invention has brought death in large scale?

Science wont kill, the application does. Yelling about NASA being military monster institution is directing your energy to the wrong place. Be angry towards pentagon or to american goverment. Dont be try to bunch NASA in to the same group, just because you feel bad about the world. Their work has brought betterment for humanity and yelling how they are just nazies trying to end the world just eats their credibility.

Also i want to point out, that the naive person, who does not understand how the world works, here are you. Trying to neatly box huge institution with over 18 000 people working in, into one neat package, when in the real world you know everything is not black and white and sometimes people need to do things they dont necessary agree with, so later they can keep working on things they want to.

Also i dont consider myself as a liberal. Im from country with working democracy, and where politics are more intrique than blue versus red.

Now now mr conspiracy theorists. We are not talking about yanks and their culture. We are talking about NASA.

The one agency in USA that is sience based, does most collaborations with other science based organisations and has done great scientific breaktroughs that has helped allmost every human on this planet and they have shared those findings

Think for a moment. If NASA was an integral part of american military development and filled with evil geniouses that want to subjucate rest of the world, why they are the agency that struggles the most to keep their funding and has been for years under the knive.

You know NASA was founded over a decade after Manhattan project right.

And that first ICBM came from the soviets, not from the USA. Also before NASA was founded.

Yeah! What usefull things NASA has done for human kind?!

People downvote you, but if i were hiring for a job with lots of wanting candidates and where one mistake has possibility of costing billions of dollars, i would too choose somebody who would know enough to recognize one of the more prevailing person on the field, or who would atleast have sense to look them up before starting dropping f bombs.

Or even more, one who does not drop f bombs at anybody.
