Impressive but as soon as the suit started talking and praising Trump so much for being such an excellent leader I couldn't stomach listening any further.

Yep, I must say, I have mixed feelings about it all. All i could see was 100,000 bodies being cremated under all that money being burnt....

Priorities USA.

Yeah, but it's not the government's money for the most part. Space X has developed the majority of the technology, and the price per seat is supposedly $80million, so putting two men up there is about the same cost as The F-22 Raptor that poor training caused the crash of a few weeks back.

And sod talking about space exploration in terms of priorities. Feed the people by spending marginally less on defence, don't cut the science.

Bit melodramatic. Most of the money was already spent before shit got serious.
