Actually NASA’s lack of funding presents one of the best arguments against the nutjobs. They always claim NASA is hiding something.

What I want to know is why they continue to struggle with a minimal budget but continue to hide things that would bring a massive influx of money and support?

I was a huge NASA fan - I even cut school to watch launches in the early 60s. But the Challenger fiasco changed my mind.
Now, 30 years after it began, I personally think the shuttle program was a scam, not unlike Madeoff's ponzi scheme.
Everyone paid in ... very few gained from it.
