 Whatever our purpose, killing astronauts probably doesn't help.

They weren't being killed intentionally.

Spending hundreds of billions on spam-in-a-can is a waste of resources
that could truly help.

In your singularly inexpert opinion.

The book is fascinating. The fatheads that decided to launch cared
about power, money, and politics. The investigations after the
disaster, the same. A few very brave engineers ruined their careers
to literally shout the truth. And Richard Feynman, who knew he was
dying of cancer.

So what. That's how the world works, and clown like you are lot of the problem.
