Is Science As Important As Football?
perhaps the federal government should fund commercial endeavors in space like they fund commercial endeavors in sports.
Lots of people would pay to go to space if they could afford it. Make it affordable.

The federal government doesn't fund sports at all. Stadium subsidies are usually a municipal or state matter at best.

It doesn't matter which entity signs the check, it all comes from the tax payers. If the feds weren't paying for the roads, the municipalities would. It's all the same.
