I agree with everything you're saying. The problem isn't with the scientifc validity of the trip. The problem is with the fact that this country cannot afford to do this at this time. Especially not under a President who has completely destroyed the first budget surplus we have had since his own father was Vice President.
This is the Wrong Time™ to be pushing $1billion that this country does not have.

Re: Please
I could turn the argument, and say that the President should have made this decision in the first place forgoing War.
But he made a bad budget decision early on..
Which really doesn't matter to NASA or me (YSE! I am as big as NASA in its entirety XD) because we still need the money.
