This. The government spends 18 billion dollars a day. That's not an exaggeration I pulled out of thin air, that is the real number. Spending a billion dollars to send a rover to Mars or whatever really is just a drop in the bucket. And I mean, come on, who doesn't love rooting for those plucky little probes?

Sure we need to do more, but like, c’mon now.
