Our "toy" up there is marvel of global technological cooperation, the subject of an international treaty only a few years after the fall of the Soviet Union, maintained by engineers, scientists, and spacefarers from fifteen different countries. It's a beacon of non-violent collaboration and humanist hope, and a continued platform for science that helps us understand not just how to continue to explore, but also the nature of our own planet and our own biology. And its total $150B cost, between all those fifteen nations since the start of its component developments thirty five years ago, is about 40% of the sum total of SBA loans our government doled out in the last four weeks. Once you pack the tremendous cost of our bailouts to large corporations and financial institutions plus the personal checks being disbursed now, it's less than eight percent the size of the $2T stimulus package the US just passed. I think your perspective needs some adjustment.
