Well spoken! I get NASA TECH BREIFS at work and some of the stuff
that is NASA related is unbelievable. Without the militaries 
backing, NASA would most likely be lacking a lot of other things
as well, like the Shuttle for instance. "Let's see, we'll build a
ship that can carry a payload in space the size of a railroad car 
(or a spy satalite, or a laser weapon, or a missle detector, or
a first wave strike launcher), and we'll use it to conduct science
experiments (or weapons tests) and benifit mankind (or our military
strength and power to push dem damn Russians outta offa the Earth).
Hmmmmmm. Yeah, the government will back the shuttle.".....
  
.....damn politics.
