This is just about the only Obama policy I agree with. What is the return on investment for Lunar/Mars exploration? What does it do for us beyond the "gee whiz" factor?

When we stop exploring, we might as well die.

Other than that whole "death" thing, is there a reason for space exploration?

Besides, if you own a cordless power tool, you have gotten something out of the space program.

Like to play video games that use a joystick?

Need an MRI?

Have a smoke detector in your house?

Have satellite TV?

Use an ear thermometer to take your child's temperature?

Thank NASA.
