Dirt: your tax dollars at work!

What is the difference between these two things?





The first is what a pristine landscape looks like for billions of years until some jerk with a budget comes along and starts dropping giant litter machines all over the place.

Let it not be mistaken:  I am a huge fan of NASA.  It eats awesome for breakfast.  It has incredible research laboratories from which the entire country, particularly the military and intelligence communities, can draw.  It burns rocket fuel like we exhale carbon dioxide, and doesn't apologize for it.  We should all sing NASA's praises and should sorely lament—nay, regret—the cancellation of its manned Mars mission.  It embodies unparalleled achievement in science, mathematics, engineering, computer science, and innumerable other fields.  If we can advertise food stamps, we should surely advertise NASA more often and more proudly.
