Seems like a question of priority. America is the land of income inequality and we can't secure our borders. We have home grown terrorists, but no mental health resources to help even the most dangerous. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Out debt is measured in trillions. And yet we spend $750 million taking pictures of Pluto. We have serious priorities that need to be addressed. And if it were our personal bank accounts then probably all but Elon Musk would prioritize his expenditures towards more terrestrial pursuits. But when it's public money, there is no accountability. And we spend it on making Pluto the next Planet of the Year.
