I did, but from the top again:

-There is no Article 1, Section 8 right conferred to the govt to engage in transportation or exploration

-Technically, NASA grew out of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which was established as an emergency measure during World War I to promote industry, academic, and government coordination on war-related projects. I guess that's Constitutional.

- NASA's remit wasn't tied to military endeavors, thus breaking whatever Constitutional linkage to NACA that NASA may have had. Thanks for listening.

Yes, but I think you are conferring a meaning from between the lines. The Constitution does encourage funding scientific endeavors and "promoting the general welfare". The space program clearly does both.

I thank God daily that people like you have no traction in our governance.
