Why is it that america is paying billions upon billions - to investigate space (at the expense of healthcare and about a million other public services) and yet as soon as OUR industries turn a profit for america (in mining gold etc), these industries will become privatised and taken out of americans hands.
They won't even have to pay tax!!!

Why are Americans investing by the trillion into these orgs - that will not even pay tax for america once they are set up?

Hey. Us aerospace engineers need our welfare too!
It provides us employment and advances scientific and engineering progress. That in turn leads to economic expansion.

Sorry, can't view the video on this computer... When you say 'space industry' are you referring to NASA? Or do you mean DoD space and satellite programs? Although some programs, such as NOAA (the weather folks) may share data and resources with both, the programs of NASA and DoD are typically quite different.

If you knew how many earth crossing asteroids there are you would probably change your mind on this.
Do you remember the pictures from Jupiter when the comet broke apart and crashed into it's surface?

Because we are a disease seeking to contaminate another planet and another and another. If you were from another world far away, would you want us visiting your planet with all of our ideas of global industry and POLITICS?
I know I wouldn't

If you were actually from America, you would have spelled it "privatized".
