Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

We had lunch with our friend who is a long time realtor here.  He said the market is still crazy here.  He had 21 offers on one house he had listed.  He then said he had seen other fairly similar houses just sitting with no offers because they had been over priced, though the listing price was less than what other houses would finally get.  His problem is he can't come up with a decent listing price, and scarily, he said the banks are giving out loans because their appraisers are apprasing with high prices now, they can't figure it out either.  Willing buyer etc.

He has never seen this kind of market in his career, and he's been through hot markets before of course.  Single family is just red hot, inside the perimeter, outside, far outside, buyers are in a panic mode getting transferred here and HAVING to find a house to get their kids settled.  And those who come from CA/NY of course find these prices to be very reasonable.  I think we're headed for a collapse, but I don't know when of course, and neither does he.  The banks will end up with loans far in excess of market prices.

as with money spent on climate change............

what's the ROI on that space program project?

while we're at it, what's the ROI on the student loan forgiveness spending

so, space money is just fun money?

with a hope we get something positive out of it someday?

I'd view it that way, yes, it's part of the human desire to explore and understand.  I think much of it is better done with "drones", not humans.  But there is also a longer term probability we need to establish a long term presence on another planet.

This Artemis rocket design strikes me as using obsolete tech in an attempt to keep costs down.  It's a blunt force approach.

It’s a jobs program and nothing else. It keeps the company making the space shuttle main engines in business ( Aerojet Rocketdyne), the company making the side solid boosters, and Boeing who makes the core stage. 

it won’t even be as capable as the Saturn V which we retired in the early 70’s. It can’t even take a lander to get down to the surface because it doesn’t have enough thrust and the Orion capsule is much heavier than its Apollo counterpart. It’s useless as it comes, and it’s expensive. The senators who pushed this pile of junk should be tarred and feathered.
