"If we didn't spend that $2.5 billion (over eight years, BTW) on the MSL, most likely it would've been spent building part of a stealth bomber or put in the pocket of a one-percenter, so I don't think it's reasonable to blame NASA for our fiscal problems or the fact that pressing social concerns remain unaddressed."
