I don't know much about this bill, but why should we be giving out gold medals for space exploration? Who does this really benefit? #confused

I can't believe they are even considering this bill. It's a complete waste of time and money. There are so many other important issues that need to be addressed, and they're focusing on this? Ridiculous. I'm so fed up with the government's priorities.
