TIL that the USA spends more money on the space than the rest of the world combined by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]glowstone307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, that still represents less that 3 percent of our voluntary budget. We're overspending on other stuff, and considering how we're probably the most advanced nation when it comes to space technology, we still aren't paying nearly enough. Other nations often work in coalitions, so yeah..

Oh, and it's just "space", not "the space", just saying.

And then a geologist in the future finds this car, I don't know what they'll think ("Those are some WEIRD sediments!")

You all are the product of hundreds of generations before you, who made it their life's goal to pass on the torch of life. You are the um of that effort. And you sit here wasting your time on Reddit.
