From what I heard, the total cost for the shuttle over its 30+ year history, was 200 billion dollars.

The US spends more than that in less than a year on war.

Well, another $200,000,000,000 to kill some more sand-niggers won't hurt the war industry. I mean, who gives a shit about the welfare of the country or it's people when there are plenty of towel-heads to use as target practice.

A Star Trek future, right now, doesn't seem likely.

A shame. Maybe the people in charge should see the intro credits to Enterprise. Shows some of the past and a possible future.

That sounds like too low of a figure. I'd like to research that figure a bit more.

I doubt the figure would be anywhere near to that spent in Afghanistan.
