Sadly, you are likely correct. This country has, for many years, decided to spend about one half of one percent of the GDP on NASA. Yet that very same institution returns many fold on the investment. How much more goes to HUD, AIG, and others (with zero return???)? It is both sad AND crazy.....

What you call "keep throwing money at a program going no where" was actually a program that had clear goals and was making progress towards said goals. So what if we upped NASA'a budget to 1% of the GDP? We would then know that we would be getting seven times the money spent on 1% instead of .6%. WOW!! What an awful thing!

Too bad we don't have a guy in charge that can see the future, instead of pandering to minority voters and selling out the future.....

I REALLY feel bad for my kids.
