Why Spaceflight?
I've heard a number of people mention that they think the space program is over-budget, more or less worthless, and a big waste of tax dollars. I can sort of understand that, but this is why that's wrong:

First: NASA's budget. The Entire National Aeronautics and Space Administration received only 0.44% of Congressional spending in 2010. To put this in perspective;
One $, out of: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, which is spent on other things. NASA does not even recieve 1%

EASA - Chapter 1
Celestia stood on her balcony in Canterlot, overlooking a portion of the city and the distant valley rimmed by mountains. She felt the cold air, and watched the gentle white snowfall, backdropped by the dark evening clouds.
How could my subjects forget so easily? She thought.

Every winter they're reminded, by Hearth's Warming Eve, how important it is that they keep their love and friendship for eachother warm, and the terrible things that happen when that love grows cold.
She sighed.
How could my subjects forget so easily?
