Food and shelter for those who need it is more important right now.

Going back to Stefanik's attacks & criticisms of Cuomo, I have felt that this might be her end game. If this is what she may have in mind her, "Ultra MAGA" comment is not going to help her in achieving this goal.

The only way for Republicans to win New York governor race is for the candidate to be very, very moderate which is where Stefanik once was. Not sure how she flips back again.

Space exploration? There are thousands of humans in our own country whose basic needs are not met, due to class discrimination and/or infrastructure failures. Planet-wide, this situation broadens and deepens. Earth first.

One of the points made in the documentary was that there could be clues to what happened to Mars if it once had water and could that be a warning of what is happening to our own planet with climate change.

Understood. Mars is possibly an example of how earth will look in the future. Sadly, we were warned by our own scientists about climate change decades ago.

Ken combing the possible disappearance of water on Mars with a futuristic warning of what might happen to our own planet do to climate change is poor logic. Its combing two unrelated events.

Was Mars once inhabited by a fossil fuel burning civilization?

100% in agreement with that!!

I was all into space and exploration in the 1980s, even applying for a spot during the Teacher in Space program, but not in favor of extravagant spending there any more.

With the dissolution of the IRS there won't be money for anything. Maybe that's been the plan all along.

Well, it wasn’t a “dissolution” really. GOP voted not to fund more money for IRS, but it will never get through Senate so it goes forward. More symbolic than anything.

With such a slim majority in the senate anything is possible with wildcards such Manchin and Sinema.

While I am all for space exploration, I am back from a trip to SoCal. It was quite troubling to see so many people living on the streets in the richest country in the world. Where are our priorities?

I hope Gov. Hochul works VERY hard on bail reform because we definitely need it. I greatly hope Stefanik does not become Governor of our State.

Imagine, Ken, just imagine, if Ms. Stafanik was as focused on advancing humanity, and not herself, as Oppy or Spirit.

A dream come true.
