"You'll see that we've gambled...

I disagree with the sentiment around space exploration. Having government involved to support the science is very valuable, but private enterprise has driven exploration for a long time and hopefully could open frontiers more quickly.

I vastly agree with the sentiment on prisons and hospitals, however. Prisons in particular make me so angry I could explode. Feels like a fundamental violation of the moral imperative upon which our society exists.
