At least that money goes your industry, no matter how inefficient it is. Our taxes go to EU = Italy and Greece likely. And for keeping up a leftist government

Money that employs engineers and scientists to do useless stuff is a double drain on a country.

NASA is a money burning machine. The first A stands for aeronautics, which they do little of.

The Boeing moon thing is an enormous, useless fiasco.

But John Larkin's ideas about whether stuff is useful or not aren't all that well-informed or reliable.

It can't be a fiasco until after it happens. Relying on John Larkin's crystal ball to predict the outcome would certainly be a lot cheaper than building and launching a series of rockets, but nobody sane would see that as any kind of reliable alternative.
