African dictators will just pocket most of that money. If it stays in the US, it will either go towards intelligence or welfare with Obama in charge.

The only viable alternative is some emergency reconstruction fund.

No. Nasa secretly detected SEVERAL large comet fragments in the taurus meteor stream that will collide with earth in the next few years. I'm not joking. They are investing in the technology to push these comets slightly off course. They also announced that they have only identified less than 1 percent of these types of serious threats. They are keeping this hush hush to prevent hysteria and there are rumors everywhere. we've been hit from fragments before like the end of the ice age, the tunguska event(that was only a little comet too), etc. Now image a series of larger than tunguska event level impacts all over the globe, thats what we're headed for soon.

Touching it down on Venus soil is easy.
Getting it to fully function of Venus soil is not.
NASA could touch down a rover on Venus soil in the 1970s... maybe if they were lucky it would send a signal back for a few seconds before dying.
Russia decided to touch down a rover on Venus soil in the 1970s... but just like you said the hostile conditions of Venus resulted in most of the landings to be a failure with one or two successful landings sending back a signal for a couple of seconds. pic related is an image from Soviet's Venera before it completely died out.
There was nothing inherently superior of Soviet technology to NASA technology.

>>58598047
that's not true, it's just that our idea of impacts are changing. we're getting better at studying impact proxies and now more and more impacts are coming to light. the problem is that there is not always a crater(for a lot of various reasons), especially with comets. it only appeared as though history had been fairly calm because we didnt discover everything yet.

We're a ways off from a lunar base but at least Russia and Japan are eager for it. Russia has given Nasa the burden of sending someone to Mars because they don't want another space race.

>>58598176
>Pretty awesome if you ask me.
Yeah, what the Russians did is pretty cool (Being the only spacecraft to send an image of Venus surface back to Earth)
But what I'm tryna say is Russians don't have inherently superior technology.
NASA could have sent a rover to Venus in the 70s and probably achieve similar results as Russia's Venera. NASA's goal was just different in the 1970s.
And NASA (and the RSA) can definitely send a rover to Venus today and achieve superior results. But they just don't see it worth it now.
>>58598208
they transmitted data about the composition of the atmosphere
>Where's all Russia's deep space probes?
Has something to do with the fact that the soviet union collapsed and russia isn't into deep space stuff anymore as much as it was? sadly
well at least they still can send manmade rockets into space. Not that bad.

It has come to my attention that some have lately called me a collaborator, as if such a term were shameful.
I ask you, what greater endeavor exists than that of collaboration?
In our current unparalleled enterprise, refusal to collaborate is simply a refusal to grow--an insistence on suicide, if you will.
Did the lungfish refuse to breathe air? It did not.
It crept forth boldly while its brethren remained in the blackest ocean abyss, with lidless eyes forever staring at the dark, ignorant and doomed despite their eternal vigilance.
Would we model ourselves on the trilobite?
Are all the accomplishments of humanity fated to be nothing more than a layer of broken plastic shards thinly strewn across a fossil bed, sandwiched between the Burgess shale and an eon's worth of mud?
In order to be true to our nature, and our destiny, we must aspire to greater things. We have outgrown our cradle. It is futile to cry for mother's milk, when our true sustenance awaits us among the stars.
And only the universal union that small minds call 'The Combine' can carry us there.
Therefore I say, yes, I am a collaborator. We must all collaborate, willingly, eagerly, if we expect to reap the benefits of unification.
And reap we shall.
>>58598546
I don't know. What was the worth of sending people to the moon in the 60s? Or sending probes to Titan? In my opinon, everything is worth when we talk about space.

That was the sake for political victory over the Russians. They landed on the moon for the sake of landing on the moon.
When America landed on the moon, NASA's goals completely changed.
NASA went from trying to achieve political victories into just doing what they thought was best for scientific research. Hence why the 'wowness' and interest in space exploration drastically decreased after the 1970s.

NASA spent more than $3 billion of taxpayer money out of its $17.7 billion budget on things from golf-club testing to studies on how humans will react to meeting space aliens.
1. Golf Club Testing, Elementary School Experiments Aboard the International Space Station: $3 Billion
NASA has been testing golf-clubs aboard the International Space Station thanks to an agreement with Cobra Puma Golf in order to examine coating materials of golf clubs.
The agency has also supported school science projects on the taxpayer dime. The groundbreaking study: The "effect of microgravity on the growth of mold on white bread."
2. NASA Wonders How Humans Will React to Space Aliens: $392,000
An official NASA document justified the study, saying that "communicating with intelligent terrestrial beings removed from us in time can be deeply problematic."
3. NASA Loses Hundreds of Electronic Devices Each Month: $1.1 Million
A report from NASA's inspector general said that NASA did not have a "complete and accurate inventory of agency-issued smartphones, tablets, cellphones, and Aircards." The IT contractor reported that 14 percent of electronic devices went unused for seven months from 2013-2014. Estimated cost of unused and lost devices: $97,000 per month.
4. NASA Predicts the Collapse of Human Civilization: $30,000
A study that claims human civilization might be on the verge of collapse cost $30,000. NASA tried to dismiss it as a "thought experiment" based in theory, but didn't deny that money from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and The University of Maryland was used to fund the project.

Gotta keep in mind that even though the military is sucking an enormous amount of money, they still develop tech just like NASA.
We're getting similar material sciences, lasers etc.. from the military sector as we're getting from any space exploration agency.
Eventually this stuff trickles down to the consumers, just like it does from NASA.

Are you aware how much US taxpayer money is spent on defense projects which are ridiculously expensive, mostly due to massive corruption?
You don't mind that, but you mind 1 billion $ (or the price of like 5 or 6 F-35's) spent on NASA?
NASA is at least good for US prestige, even if you ignore everything else.
>>58597223
This. Space programs generally get the smallest budget out of all government programs in any country. NASA's budget was $17.647 billion (Fiscal Year 2014, about 0.5% of total budget at about $3 trillion)

I agree the space race is most likely about acquiring resources at this point.
Little other reason to go up there at the moment, other than keeping ahead of other nations that are quickly improving their space tech.
Chinks and Indians for example.
Wouldn't look good if they passed America in space exploration.
Just a little while ago they passed some laws regarding asteroid mining,

1: those "space rocks" are sources of vast wealth and prosperity for all humans on the planet.
2: seeding our species across the solar system is a logical step for our species. It diminishes the risk of catastrophic extinction type events and ensures that our species (and likely many other earth plants and animals) live on.
3: I don't care about fixing or helping 3rd world countries. Leave that to the Christian missionaries, maybe in 1000 years the positive effects of Christianity on their backward cultures will bring them out of their dark ages, as it brought Europe out of ours.

That's not, by any means, a small amount.
Anyway, what NASA needs is not more money, but more freedom to spend that money where it will do the most good, and the hiring of management that will actually do so.
A lot of their money comes in earmarked for specific contractors, like the SLS/Orion boondoggle. That's charity for big military aerospace contractors, and workfare for people who used to work on the shuttle program.

Treaties get broken quite often, usually leading to a political crisis or war, why wouldnt it happen in this scenario?
A country sucesfully build a colony on a moon with an atmosphere, lets say titan for example...
Why wouldnt this country simply claim it their own planet and tell the world to fuck off, threatening any ship that tries to land withount authorization with orbital gun batteries or lasers?
What exactly will enforce this treaty?

Think about what you just said. Do you realize how much of modern technology comes from the people who landed on our moon with computers less powerful than my engineering calculator? Solar power, artificial limbs, cell phones, etc. all of it comes from them.
Im fucking disappointed /pol/ im disappointed this is even a debate. The US budget is fucking atrocious, we spend money on other countries, feeding retarded kids, a bloated "peace time" military, and god knows what else. NASA is one of the few things the government has done which isnt a fucking failure, its a noble prospect. To collect information and learn more about the universe. Who else is going to do it? The indians? They cant even shit in a toilet. The chinese? Styrofoam wont survive the launch. The Russians? Sure, maybe 30 years ago.
>>58602418
Nasa earns about 1 cent from every tax dollar. That is a very small ammount. They need money to hire people, pay for materials, give elon musk money to invent sex robots.
>>58596641
I'd rather money go into space exploration than mo money fo dem programs.
If Canada dropped every entitlement not specifically mentioned on my pay stub, that's E.I. And C.P.P, we could have the Canadian Space Agency's budget at least three times the size of NASA's.
And that's a good thing.
We need long term solutions for the survival of the human race. Not short term bandaids.

The thing is that the homeland isn't vulnerable. Mutual assured destruction doesn't disappear with orbital gun batteries on Titan.

A Russian aircraft was just shot down by the Turks. Russia banned tomatoes.
