NASA’s budget is at it’s lowest in fifty years as percentage of the budget on Obama’s watch.
Less then half a penny now of the federal budget.
The bailouts would have powered NASA for decades to come.
Pitiful.
The nations that lead on the frontiers, dictate the course of human history.
Obama the global citrizen doesn’t believe of course that America should be dominate in that.
This is a case in which entrenched ideology is self-destructive. Academics always think that voting democrat will help with science funding etc., but in the end, it usually results in budget shortfalls and big cuts in funding. Further, when you hit the private sector with taxes and big regulatory costs, they won’t fund research either. In the end the pipeline of innovation that can drive future economic growth dries up. Science funding is horrible in the US right now. i would not encourage a young person to pursue science at this time.
Not that we should bailout anybody as a government, but NASA isn’t Constitutional nor necessary for American progress. NASA stifled progress in space.
