Inb4 massive debate over private funding etc etc, massive debate over science and Neil deGrasse Tyson being a fraud etc etc.

Forgetting free markets and everything for a moment, I would love to see the military budget slashed in half, and see the NASA budget doubled for a manned mission to mars and use the difference to pay down debt.

Couldn't agree more.

Yes, peaceful use of Space brings benefits to all, and war not much to us all.

NASA has to be one of the only governmental agencies with something to show for the money they've spent. It's ok to give lockheed martin a trillion dollars through the Air Force, but if they get a billion from NASA it's a waste.

tang, yes...

 

[Harryhaller]

NASA is military.
