      How much do they spend on these rockets as compared to military spending? Compared to tax incentives and bailouts for large corporations? For dead-end pet projects for reps who are trying to pander to their demographics, or secure contracts for their buddies in the lobbying business?

      This is a drop in the bucket comparatively.
