AN ACT
To bar federal funds from aiding efforts to colonize Mars

Be it enacted by the Congress of the Republic of Atlasia assembled
Quote
Section 1. Title

This legislation may be cited as the Earth First Act.

Section 2. Ban on federal funds going to expensive, unnecessary, and wasteful pet projects

(a) Whereas Congress finds that the preservation of Earth, its resources, efforts to promote and maintain peace where conflict exists, and protection of the vulnerable are more worthy endeavors than a new space race, no federal funds may be allocated to aid efforts to colonize Mars.

I have wondered that with all of the efforts being put into space exploration by billionaires, if it would create a reaction against it, especially among the more environmentally conscious.

I am not saying that is necessarily what is at work here.

I need to think about this one a bit. Hopefully doing so won't this time cause me to miss the vote as this is what has caused 90% of the ones I missed. I like the idea of curtailing spending in certain areas to focus on others, yet I also know the benefits directly and indirectly of space research.

That is called foreshadowing, folks. Tongue
