It would be a gross mistake to think of America as a free market. Zoning laws, for example were established to prevent immigrants and other less privileged people from acquiring property in better neighborhoods. There's a reason why rooms in a house have to be of a certain size and why some people can't plant vegetables in their own front yards - it's not for safety and it's not for beauty, it's to maintain an elite.

The fact that Boeing et all wants to sell more rockets does not make researching europa any less relevant, IMO.
It's not as if this congressman is being sold as a champion of human wisdom. Career politicians have other value and should not be judged as philosophers.
