I thought the article and the whole blog to be a rather fun and cheeky counter-point to the argument that space exploration is too expensive.
As a total of US budget, NASA's expenses represented less than one half of one percent in 2012.
We've spent more money on things other than space exploration that, depending on who you ask, has far less social value.
