I'm in the middle of Dan Browns Deception Point, where NASA is a big part of the plot. However, what I know about it is limited, so bear with me, as I'm using information from a few sources.
Now, my main question is whether you think this is worth it. Do you think the $17 Billion of your tax money could be spent in a more productive way? Do we really need the space programme?
I don't have a real view here at the moment, my main thought is that I wonder how America doesn't have free healthcare yet can spend billions of dollars on space exploration. I'd assume healthcare is more important. But maybe space exploration is better in the long run?
NASA's current 2008 budget of $17.318 billion represents about 0.6% of the $2.9 trillion United States federal budget.
