I can see why Federal spending on a rain forest in Iowa would be
unconstitutional -- it clearly is -- but space exploration?


Do you find a provision for space exploration in the Constitution?



Who else BUT the Federal government could do it?


No other single entity could, but that doesn't make it constitutional.
