I can't tell if you're joking or serious. I hope you're joking, but suspect you're serious.

What's more important, saving the planet or space exploration? NASA's ENTIRE budget should be put towards climate change research.

I'm very happy that this money is going towards climate change research and not with any sort of Space Shuttle replacement. Climate change is a far greater threat than any lack of space travel.

We need more money for climate change research

Climate change is far more important than space exploration.

ASA Boosts Climate Change Budget 62% This is probably for the best, climate change is a far larger problem than space exploration.

Climate change is far more important that space travel, I'm glad we have our priorities in order. http://sweetness-light.com/archive/nasa-boosts-climate-change-budget-62

Eh? We could have done 5 shuttle launches with that money.

http://inhabitat.com/obama-gives-nasa-2-4-billion-to-study-climate-change/ Why are liberals so anti-science? They don't like GMO food, despite no scientific evidence it's harmful, they don't like nuclear power, don't like research on racial genetics and intelligence etc etc. And now they cancelled the space shuttle to give more handouts to fraudulent climate scientists.

Just in case anyone is wondering where the money went.

Obama Gives Nasa $2.4 Billion to Study Climate Change Oh really? Seems that 2.4 billion couldn't launched about... 5 shuttles.

How about NASA use their climate change funding (which Obama prioritized in 2010) towards, you know, space exploration?

We had to stop the program so NASA could increase our climate change research. I'm so glad we have our priorities in order!

Slashdot is filled with whiny crybabies. These folks can write a Java program and for that they don't think they should have to compete with people the world over. Ignore these idiots.
