The nations that lead on the frontiers dictate the course of human history.

China would be happy to take the reigns and delight at an anemic NASA.

Currently .7 percent of the federal budget is spent on NASA.

NASA could disappear tomorrow and it would make no difference at all in our economic problems, for a while, in ten, twenty years, it will start hurting bad as other nations press outward and reap the rewards.

NASA is smart money spent on the future.

Nasa employees get paid very well and they have that terrific medical and retirement bonanza....

I admire NASA but I admire my husband too....and nobody gives a rip about his lost pension and retirement......and his work has been just as noble as Nasa's IMO....

cut out the fancy penisons and make them pay like what I pay for medical, and then come begging for more money..
