A couple of cheesy movies come out about this, and we should let them drive the funding priotrites for NASA? That is silliniess.

We need healthcare. Life has existed for hundreds of millions of years on this planet. I think we can risk 20 years before massivly funding NASA again. If other nations are worried, let them pay for it. 800 million is eight tenths of a billion. Cut NASA's buget by nine tenths and drop this screwy astroid idea. We have some grandmas to kill.
