There are some voices of reason in the thread saying that NASA money is a drop in the bucket compared to war spending, but there’s a whole lot of support for space exploration by China (and Russia), because of course it’s only bad when “USian”

Nasa has created massive economic benefits for the economy and technological innovations that have improved quality of life in a very real way.
Gil Scott Heron had a very valid point that we need to focus on our sister Nell, but Whitey on the Moon is a net benefit to sister Nell and not the reason we ain’t taking care of her.
In 2025 Nasa got $24 billion ICE got $80 billion Military got $919 billion
I got a guess as to which one is most likely to shoot your sister Nell. Lets take money from that one
…Also When Whitey on the Moon was written, NASA got like 4% of the US budget. NASA now gets 0.35%
