What might be the "obvious cure"?  Could it be that we should just get
rid of NASA?  That would solve a whole lotta problems.  The money could
go to feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, and things like that.  But
then again, without NASA we would second to the Soviets not becuase of a highly
politicized space agnecy, but becuase we didn't even try.  That would be
a real shame.
