A sci-fi tax to fund NASA and space exploration and research?
Hmm.
That's not really a bad idea. But how big is the tax, that I am concerned with.
And exactly what falls under science fiction, besides novels? Because for us who are sci-fi gamers are currently paying a bunch -- if not will be -- when the $40 revised Star Wars rulebook is released, Star Trek RPG Player's Guide & Narrator's Guide, and other sci-fi RPG.
Of course, it would be nice if George Lucas is willing to match the sale of the revised rulebook and the Episode II movie admissions in donation toward NASA funding. Come to think of it, how much has he donated toward that cause? Not one red cent?
