I saw on Fox a man (I am sorry but can’t remember his name for the life of me) who had been an astronaut. He was discussing that China’s space program is setting up to send a man to the moon. (there are security issues at hand as well). In a way, it is a demoralizing issue to the U.S. We shove our spacecraft into warehouses/museums and sort of just abandon it. Meanwhile, other countries are just gearing up. I understand fully that the U.S. economy is bad. However, if we cut other payments to stupid stuff/funding other countries then we would have plenty of money to keep our space program (and many other things) healthy IMHO.
