Thanks for the blogoversary wishes! I think questions can be asked even about "good rockets." All three of us are exremely pro-science. But unless you can demonstrate the direct utility of some of the space ventures (and oftentimes you can), can we really justify the billions of dollars, given that just pennies will purify water for a household in Africa, limiting sickness in a very direct way? Tough questions, not addressed perhaps because some people just like building sophisticated toys.
