the U.S. Space Force's uncrewed orbital test vehicle - the X-37B


After 908 days in orbit, the Boeing vehicle touched down at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida early Saturday morning.


Question... what's the point of a "space force" that doesn't have a single astronaut? 

Utter boondoggle waste of money to prop up useless corporate contractors..   one of it's  "experiment was designed to study the long-term effects of space radiation on seeds, in order to explore crop production and "the establishment of permanently inhabited bases in space."

So... billions of dollars wasted on seeing if seeds can grow on Mars, or the Moon? Yeah, they can't. 

How do I know? No damn water to grow plants. Ask any farmer, it takes a lot of water, and the cost per pound of getting water to a farm/hydroponic installation on a spaceship, etc, is what, 10,000 dollars per pound? https://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/news/background/facts/astp.html That's just effing stupid. We already know humans are not going to survive long term in space, or on another planetoid thing (moon, planet, asteroid, whatever), just ask NASA, they already have figured that out. 

How about they spend those billions fixing the damn roads, bridges, etc. Or making a high speed train around the USA wo we don't have to use airliners anymore?
