How many lives make it "worth it"?

Thousands, perhaps millions, of people owe their lives to something that
you can only do with a space program.

Fact, not wild speculation.  I can aim doubters at the raw data to draw
their own conclusions.


That that is is that that is. That that is not is that that is not.
That that is is not that that is not.  That that is not is not that that is.
And that includes these opinions, which are solely mine!
