Neil deGrasse Tyson - We Stopped Dreaming (Episode 1)
Neil deGrasse Tyson: "Audacious Visions"
NASA is an investment in the future.
Penny4NASA is circulating a petition advocating that NASA should be maintained at 1% of the Federal budget because it is an investment. It is currently at about 0.5% of the Federal budget.

NASA does work that depends on doing the science right, from orbital mechanics, to space weather and understanding of the Sun and solar environment. Note that NO ONE from the Electric Universe (Challenges Evaded by EU), Geocentrist (barycenters, 3-bodies), or Young-Earth
Creationist (SED) groups has demonstrated competence in using their claimed
science knowledge to do any of these things.
America, and in many cases the rest of the world, benefit from doing the science right.
Disclosure: In my day job I am employed by a contrator and do science support work at a NASA center. I cannot and do not speak for any of these organizations.
This site is the blogging component for my main site Crank Astronomy (formerly "Dealing with Creationism in Astronomy"). It will provide a more interactive component for discussion of the main site content. I will also use this blog to comment on work in progress for the main site, news events, and other pseudoscience-related issues.
