   And man was never meant to fly.   
      
   As absurd as that may appear if you do not know how, government bonds and   
   anticipated tax revenues are spendable money that doesn't actually exist   
   (yet) and my job was turning theoretical proposals into functional hardware.   
      
   For me the tangible return on money thrown into space was my home, vehicles   
   and retirement accounts. The government can recirculate military and space   
   spending back into the economy as a control mechanism that is independent of   
   consumer supply and demand. Since our beginning Congress has ensured that   
   the money is distributed as widely as possible, with each district receiving   
   a fair share in exchange for support.   
      
   One tragic consequence was the Shuttle's rocket boosters being built in   
   transportable jointed sections in Utah instead of a single piece in Florida.
