NASA is part of the problem as long as it continues to exist. It is a waste of money and resources. Entitlements are as well, but every voting block has their favorite program because it's clear to one and all that government is a reservoir of other people's money that's up for the taking, not a way for preserving our freedoms and protecting our property. BTW, Sagan did say "billions and billions" at some brain-dead talk that I mostly slept through back when I was in school.

Sagan in his own words....

"I never said it. Honest. Oh, I said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. It's hard to talk about the Cosmos without using big numbers. I said "billion" many times on the Cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. But I never said "billions and billions." For one thing, it's too imprecise." - Carl Sagan (1934-1996), Billions & Billions


My post #6 already covers why NASA is so important.......
