or if they could get 150 miles on a ~$15k economy car it would be a great commuter and I could afford to get a second bigger car for long road trips that would maintain low mileage and maintenance.

150 miles and cheap would be perfect for me to get back and forth to work and still have enough range if I had to do something else in a single day, then charge at night.

The cost of education is much much more than then price per credit hour. The missing of work, the room and board, books food the basics for life while you barely able to find time for the homework and classes.

There is a government program already in place to cover all this though. It's called the military. It works.

Why would I want to launch something in space just to bring it back. If it's not required to insure the survival of the crew I could make it significantly lighter and cheaper, and instead of all that extra weight that will just be coming back for another trip I could be sending up that much more payload. This re-usable rocket bullshit is what stalled the space programs over the past 40+ years.
