What percentage of the government budget should NASA get?
>>69540498
At least 1%.

>>69540498
I'd say between 1 and 5 percent
4% is solid, cut it from defense. they'll get the re-purposed leftovers of the advances NASA & DARPA make
How expensive can a giant pool and special effects be?
NASA and the military should share budgets for scientific research, weapons always drive progress
whatever they need to go to Mars
>>69540498
10%
They make a lot of good tech that eventually makes their way into consumer products.

The level of funding isn't the problem.
The problem is the all the fucking bureaucratic red tape and political bullshit they have to put up with.
The reason they can't make any decent headway on any major projects isn't because of lack of funding, but because Congress changes their fucking mission priorities every four years. The reason so many projects end up overbudget and behind schedule isn't due to lack of funding or qualified personnel, but because Congress makes it mandatory for NASA to do 90% of its project R&D through cost-plus contracts with defense contractors
NASA gets ~$18 billion a year. That's enough to get plenty of shit done. Just stop the congressional middlemanaging and meddling. Let NASA form an internal panel to determine individual project funding and just send them a fucking check once a year to get shit done.
>>69540498
0. Just like the rest of government.
>>69540498
all of the budget for welfare, it would actually be more beneficial. Scientist will help a lot more people with the money than people buying milk and bread
None because it doesn't benefit >us in a tangible immediate way.
>>69542206
ive never understood why congress has to approve nasa projects when theyre not experts on what should be done
but still, funding could be at least 3.5%
>>69541051
cut it from niggers and other freeloaders
>>69540498
none because space isn't real
>>69540816
gas the kikes race war now fuck bankers
>>69541442
Mylar is actually a material made by NASA that can be found in everything from cars to emergency blankets
T. Ford engineer and survivalist

Because they're politicians... meddling with shit they've got no business meddling in is literally what they exist to do.
As far as the funding goes - engineers and scientists are at their best when you give them a *little* freedom, but not too much. If you're just throwing money at them, they've got no reason to come up with clever, more efficient solutions to things.
Medicare is 25% of the federal budget. Take 1 point out of Medicare (a whopping 4% cut) and boom it doubles the budget of NASA. What should actually happen is the US should heavily sponsor private space exploration to work with NASA so the us can have a controlling share of the upcoming space exploration market
>>69542620
No imagination
>>69540498
0% It's public theater.
>>69540498
There should be a global nasa tax..every citizen from the 1st world pay $5 a year soley for nasa R&D
>>69540498
Nothing until affirmative action is gutted.
Make NASA white again.
>>69540498
Zero.
Cut bait and start over with a new agency.
>>69540816
what does Trump think about NASA?
>>69543163
Again - the problem is less to do with the budget and more to do with congressional oversight.
Doubling NASA's budget doesn't accomplish shit if you're still forcing them to
A) pay oldspace defense contractors like Boeing, NorGru, and LockMart five times as much to do the same work as newer, more competitive contractors.
B) completely change their R&D goals every election cycle
>>69540498
NASA is a mess. NASA is a waste.
We need to gut that shitty program. Government programs will NEVER be as efficient as private programs.
You guys still don't get this?
>>69543467
Unclear - on the one hand he doesn't like wasting money on something that's making little progress... on the other hand he's apparently got Buzz Aldrin advising him on drafting a space policy.
>>69543401
Fuck off globalist, keep your government pedophiles and spending boondoggles to yourself.
>>69540498
Five percent. Space travel and terraforming is vital for the survival of all humanity.

Im voting out at the brexit i aint a globalist you fucking cuckold
i just want to speed up the space age you syrup slurping snownigger

Who needs a roads when we can develop teleporters?
>>69543550
Space X is shit
>>69541051
I'm in favor of this.
>>69543326
No realism
0%. They should give all that money to oppressed minorities. I mean, sure, putting a man on Mars or mining asteroids is neat, but ending systematic oppression is way better.
If don't like space travel or investment in NASA you're literally not white and you should be ashamed
>muh private space travel
Private space companies have their place but the state has and always will lead the charge on new frontiers like this
>it was private companies that colonised most of the world
They were not private companies in the same vain as we have now, they were state sanctioned companies that recieved state funding and their missions were undertaken on the basis of benefit for the state
>>69543151
then have two space agencies and make them compete. per year, one gets the 3.5%, the other gets 1%
>>69543550
Government funding and research is responsible for a lot of breakthroughs in technology. You can't ever expect a private company to make something like rockets that can fly to space, the internet, nukes. They cost way too damn much and they can't benefit from it alone.
Hell, now they're even working on fusion technology now.
Private companies are good at make things cheaper and more efficient, but I don't think they can't make the huge breakthroughs in technology the way government programs can.
