I'm big into space exploration- so much that if NASA asked me to join them on a one-way trip to Mars I'd take it.

But to put exploration above education- that's just wrong; especially when we see illiteracy rates like we do in such rich countries. I recently read that 34% of North Americans are mathematically illiterate. That's like 1 in every 4 people!

And yes that mathematical error was done on purpose.
