It's not "almost 100% pork funneling" and I know this because....they're there! they are at the moon! I don't like pork either, but let's not blow this out of proportion. How much do we think that it should have cost, if everything was perfectly optimized, to get to the moon? 50b instead of 100b? so ok, 50% was pork, and that's bad, but let's not overstate it and instead allow a little joy in our lives. also the original apollo program was about 300b in today's dollars, so seems like things have always been a little porky. | ||||||||

Only 300b for the Apollo program? That sounds downright lean. | ||||||||
