It gets x amount of dollars and decides what it will spend money on. It’s directors have no foresight and are quite content to watch China and other nations eclipse us if they can.

We had a 50 year jump on other nations, and we diddled it away.

We could have had Moon bases by now, Mars colonies...

Instead we have NASA that can’t put a man in space, much less on a heavenly body.

It spent $90 billion of a $10 billion space station, and quickly labeled it an international space station.

It’s so terrified the U. S. will be seen as a premier “anything” that it dodges any chance of it quite successfully.

Don't forget that Obama's NASA Director, Charles Bolden, declared back in 2010 that his goal as NASA Director was not pre-eminence in space but was to reach out to the worldwide Muslim community and praise them for their contributions to space research.

This has to have been one of the stupidest, moronic statements ever uttered by a political appointee, and that's saying a lot.
