I truly am at a loss, you just don’t get it..
When a ship is sinking all who can must bail.
Continued spending unchecked no matter how noble the cause will not only sink the ship of state, but it will lead to tyranny.. Already that foul creature skulks about our nation.
I am not saying eliminate NASA I am saying sit down with the Defense Science Committee and hammer out some mutual objectives that both provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare. Then set about improving the economy and lives of everyday Americans..
Now it is not just NASA, the DOD has been the second most wasteful spender in the Nation (social services is first I believe)..
Like spoiled little boys the Flag Officers only want the newest gizmo out there. It does not matter if they have a perfectly serviceable platform.. (Such as M113s APCs and the M60, M48 series Tank Platforms) Even though the Israelis after sleight modifications use them successfully everyday against a similar foe and threats. That is just not good enough..
NASA’s budget alone is not the point.
People can see it in your response.. No offer to compromise.. no willingness to accept that some level of serious cuts and redirection makes sense in these troubled times.
If we cannot get such a reasonable consession from a NASA Supporter in a discussion forum... How will we ever make progress in actual discussions of budget and priorities..
If people like yourself are unmoved by reasonable arguments.
We won’t make progress. We will only be pulled along kicking and screaming while the nation falls into bankruptcy and Tyranny takes hold.

I am also truly at a loss.
You just don’t get it and you totally blow off the wisdome of experts for your own analysis. Based on what experience I have no idea.
My compromise would have been to leave NASA alone and let it make slow progress rather then NONE at all.
I am ashamed that some fellow Americans are foolish enough to turn their backs on the pioneering spirit that built this nation.
That path leads to stagnation and death for America.
No thanks.
But if you want to champion Obama’s NASA plans..
well be my guest to share views with that deconstructor of America.
