Its well within the margin of error all you have to do is run a hypothesis test to see whether you accept or reject the null hypothesis

They already said margin of error was 800 million

yea, it is a big part of the problem. put defense and NASA money into feeding the hungry, housing the homeless and educating the masses properly. once those problems are solved then we can consider venturing to other worlds.

Maybe venturing to other worlds can be the catalyst that brings humanity together. But if we don't leave the planet our species will become extinct. it's only a matter of time before an extinction level event happens. Asteroids, comets, plagues, gamma rays, etc. Seriously solving all earth's problems will take so long we will die first.

Defense spending takes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more money than NASA tho, hell the prison system takes more than NASA. Anything that helps us advance as a species shouldn't be done away with that's why I disagree when you say get rid of NASA. Now defense contractors, weapons manufacturers, etc etc those the nikkaz we gotta worry about. Like I was sayin, I shoulda been a bit more exact in what I was sayin in my first post but I just ain't wanna be wordy and make a paragraph of it. In my opinion, getting rid of inequities between humans is what would bring us into real expansion into space especially since we'd definitely be running out of space if everyone suddenly had enough food to eat, a stable environment, and adequate schooling.

not true. there are funds directed toward NASA as a part of the black budget. and the internet was a military project, not NASA

stop acting like NASA is useless dude. It deserves more funding if anything.

I'm sayin, we should be gettin rid of all these land fills and trash by launching them shyts to Venus. The environment is like an Earth size compactor/incinerator. Our whole planet could be clean as fukk right now, these rich fukks need to listen to Gza and diversify they bonds and stop fukkin the rest of humanity over so we can make shyt like this happen.

what have the billions spent on NASA gotten us? just about nothing. look at all the people who lived in poverty since NASA's inception. look at all the people who couldn't afford a proper education. your priorities are out of wack.

we can do ALL of that shyt, it isn't NASA's fault that other stuff isn't getting done.. I want more social programs so my priorities aren't out of wack, you should stop judging people when you have no info to go on. I can't help that the political system is fukked so education gets no funding or that there aren't more social programs to help the poor. I'd guess that the majority of Americans don't care about poor people, because after all this is America right, you should be able to not be poor by working hard and living the american dream :troll:

:comeon:

you don't know what you're talking about. NASA's existence has nothing to do with poverty and education issues.
