"Do you realize that the $850 billion bank bailout — that sum of money is greater than the entire 50-year running budget of NASA. And so when someone says we don’t have enough money for this space program, I’m asking ‘No, it’s not that you don’t have enough money. It’s that the distribution of money that you’re spending is warped in some way that you are removing the only thing that gives people something to dream about tomorrow.’"
