My Perpetual Question Returns

So I am back at it again, wondering this: why can NASA spend $168.4 million dollars on a dust-gathering satelllite in an attempt to study the origins of physical space...yet we as a society aren;t willing to cough up serious research into near-death experiences?

Stardust brings home 'cosmic booty' talks about the space probe Stardust. I think it;s great. I have always been a fan of the space program.

However, I'd also like to research the origins of life by investigating the experiences of those people who have left their bodies and experienced wondrous worlds in other dimensions while their bodies flatlined.
