See when the government shut down "furloughs" what I've read was 97% of NASA employees, you know, the branch responsible for space exploration and stuff - all that trivial shit, it says a lot about what they deem as essential. Space exploration should be the highest goal we have as a country, and as a species. Innovations found in the wake of pursuing such lofty dreams will only continue to justify our pursuit of the unknown. Or we could just sit here and invade Syria and blow ourselves the fuck up. I mean, let the maniacs in the governments that don't represent the people at all, like 0.01% of all people, steer the ship of state into a collision course at the corner of retarded and dumbass. Agreed?
 Dr. Tyson, take it away.

Somebody already made a thread about how terribly outraged we should be that a bunch of nerds got sent home for a couple of weeks. Also how this impacts basically nothing whatsoever.

The space race was mainly an excuse to openly develop rocket technology for nuclear warheads and to boost national pride.
The future of space exploration is privatized industry anyway.

Yeah, spare me your self-righteous indignation. We all know that blithering retards are up in arms over something they're clearly too stupid to understand. There's no reason to contribute to the mass amount of stupidity that is currently being shat out all about over the (very temporary) shutdowns.

The president is the commander in chief, while I agree he's no smarter then a poli. science major you can't justify him not making bank.

Ya I can, he's supposed to work for the people.
The boss is not supposed to make less then the employees.
And it should be a job from the heart not for financial gain.

I disagree, biology and biotechnology should be the #1 goal in this country.

I don't think there's a single conspiracy theory I ascribe to. Not the grassy knoll, not building 7, and not stage cues in moon landing photos.
It is not conspiracy that our national space endeavor is a side effect or complimentary product of our military endeavors. I've heard both Sagan and Tyson express the same idea, the former going as far to say that the moon landing was more or less a publicity stunt to develop the tech for ICBMs, iirc.
Modern gov. space tech doesn't get big funding in the US because it no longer directly advances our military strategy, we're already decades ahead of anyone else when it comes to the militarization of space. 'MERICA!
Privatization of space exploration is an inevitability.

This guy speaks truth.
Gov't funding for science in general usually has to do with military defense and weapons. And, the amount of spending is usually heightened during war time, where our biggest modern achievements in science usually emerge.

My friend works for NASA. He was on the the team that built the satellite that first detected the microwave background radiation from the Big Bang. He's been furloughed. I know he's building another satellite right now, but is don't know the project.
This is his satellite:

This was the project: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkinson_Microwave_Anisotropy_Probe
This is the famous image that the satellite produced

Yeah I don't get what the argument is with this. Yes, there are good reasons for NASA to be a priority over the long term, and shutting it down permanently would certainly be unwise. It's not being shut down permanently though, it's being shut down temporarily. Shutting down all law enforcement (ignoring the drug law issue for a moment) or the military for even a period of days would have large, negative, immediate consequences. The same simply is not true with NASA. The negative consequences of shutting down NASA, while real, would take longer than that to manifest, so it makes sense that it would be a lower priority to keep open when a short-term shutdown of services happens.

Just watched a documentary about that project. Now which came first, the Methuselah star, or the big bang?
