What Is Going To Become Of Nasa? What Purpose Do They Serve?

I would literally be unable to keep myself from dancing in the street.

Short of having given the reins to Carl Sagan years ago nothing could be better for NASA or bring us as a nation more benefit from their efforts.

couldn't agree more.

IMO, NASA is sort of like steak.

It's one of those things that you have to cut out when you are broke. Not saying that you can't ever eat it again, but if your credit card debt is more than your yearly income, it's time to cut it out.

I view it as the complete opposite. Investment in NASA is for the long term. You won't reap the benefits right away, it transcends election cycles. Politicians will spend money where they can get votes from it. During the cold war people would give votes to help defeat the Soviets but today politicians get votes for corporate interests and entitlements. NASA is the nation's 401k and it getting neglected.

and that's beyond the very literal NEED to get off this planet. this planet will be destroyed one day, that is a certainty... we would do well to open up other options as soon as possible. if we go the way of the dinosaurs even though we had a space program... joke's on us.
