Pretty inspiring interview. I think it's a shame that we're letting NASA wither on the vine. It's myopic and short sighted to try and save the comparatively minuscule amount of money that NASA funding entails and forego all of the innovation and advancement that goes along with space exploration.

Great article. I agree 100%, Mookie, we should keep social programs funded but some focus should be shifted to national priorities like NASA. That program has given so much in research, knowledge, and glory.

Two areas I support will always be NASA and cancer research.

And, we should possibly encourage recipients of social spending to become organ donors. That way they could "give back". I'm one, I think everyone should be.
