Exactly right. You are one of the very few people that I've heard speak to this simple reality. Most of the time, we get hypocritical nonsense from the Chamber of Commerce/Business Roundtable crowd whose singular interest is to fill the nation's office cubicles with foreign-born workers willing to do "STEM" work for Third World wages.
Why shouldn't, then, the native-born "best and the brightest" just go to law school, or otherwise follow-the-money?
I’d rather Cruz and the Senate defund NASA and instead outsource space work to private companies who will get the job done without the bureaucratic BS and political agendas.
Its all taxpayer dollars.

And back? We should leave some people there, I can think of many suited for such a fate. Perhaps L. Graham could serve as Ambassador to the Court of Ming the Merciless.
So does the word "botanical," btw.
Absolutely. We just need to know where are going to be nine months from now.
“But can we answer such a call again?”
Not when we have muslime outreach as NASA’s primary mission.
There’s the trick bit LOL the rest is easy peasy lemon Squezzy

NASA’s budget is so small it can’t even make a sliver on the federal government pie chart.
“We’ve been seeing this statement for 40 years. Fat lot of good it did.”
We need another “Sputnik” moment.
Worked then.
of course it does. *rme*
That's a shibboleth. The engineers who sent men to the moon went to school from the 1930s to the 1950s.
I'm sure they studied (duh!) - but they also had proper preparation in elementary school and high school, they had proper grading and a rigorous curriculum.
None of that exists any more. One of my children is currently a Biology major in college. This child has two "X" chromosomes, so that's very exciting to the powers that be.
The lack of preparation among her classmates is astonishing. The degraded nature of the curriculum is astonishing. Neither of these things can be corrected by "studying".
If we are going to send English speakers to Mars, we have to fix first grade, and we won't be going for fifty years (at least). When I was a little boy and a teenager, I believed we'd hear voices from Mars before I died.
And we will. Too bad I don't speak Mandarin.
