Continuing to prove that money that goes into developing technology for NASA helps everyone.

NASA should have an unlimited budget and push the envelope for all of mankind.]]>Jul 15th 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/http://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/Jul 16th 2010 11:43AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/http://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/Jul 15th 2010 10:44AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/http://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/It has been around for much longer than 20 years.

Only problem is this is not an article about the Veterans Administration Hospital.

It may be true that the comment from eMax might be a bit overzealous, it is on topic and I believe well intentioned.
While I agree with you that we need to take better care of our veterans, this is not a story about them.

NASA (and the military for that matter) has come up with technologies that are beneficial to everyone, veterans included, and they should be applauded for that.

Pull back and look at the big picture.

VETERANS are those who have served their country, putting their life and family cohesiveness on the line for the good of their country. There are two kinds of veterans - those who served honorably but did not spend the time required for full retirment benefits, and those who spend the time to receive full retirement benefits. EACH kind of veteran is promised care and consideration from the country they protected/fought for - this care is part and parcel of the contract between the government and the service member at the time of entry into military service. No veteran gets this consideration for nothing...they ARE required to WORK for this benefit - it is not a hand out... it is an EARNED benefit!

Veterans take the job knowing that the financial compensation for this sacrifice to their country is PITIFUL...the upside being that after doing their duty to God and country, moving every three years (or more often), living in areas that the average person would avoid (war zones come to mind), being on call 24/7/52, missing birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day, birth of children, first grade school plays, high school graduations, etc., they are promised health care for life - for those who served for TWENTY PLUS YEARS, they are promised healthcare for life for them AND their spouse (who has "served" right along with the veteran). And it really SUCKS to find out when you get to the point of trying to get what was promised as part of the "hiring package," the promise was all smoke and mirrors and no one gives a damn.

I'm sorry there are those who don't have health care - that situation, however, has nothing to do with the evaporation of benefits promised to veterans in exchange for a LIFETIME OF SERVICE.

I KNOW this has nothing to do with the NASA and the ROVER, but I could not let this statement go unchallenged. Those who feel that "veterans" are somehow not worthy of the care being asked for need to be introduced to the real world where we get what we EARN and EARN what we get! ]]>Jul 16th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/http://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/Jul 16th 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/http://www.switched.com/2010/07/15/nasa-radar-ready-rover-helps-solve-murder-case/Who cares if the average model rocketeer will be able to shoot higher then NASA by next year?
