We all have grown up with NASA and watched as they have had one failure after another. Now they want to build an apartment building on Mars. WTF is that all about?
NASA's budget for 2024 is $25.3 billion. What are they doing with all that money? Elon Musk has built a fleet of rockets that carry satellites aloft, so that function has partially been removed from NASA.
If you want to see what failures NASA has had, just google NASA failures. I think it'll surprise you how many they have had. Just this week one of their missions had to be scrubbed. They had planned on putting an unmanned satellite on the moon, but the fuel that was to be used to provide a "soft landing" leaked out on the way to the moon so they cancelled the mission. No word from them as to how they're going to get that expensive piece of equipment back to earth.
I understand their stated mission is scientific research. But my question is, could that $23.5 billion be better spent on other things? That money could be spent on securing our borders to stop the flow of illegal aliens. Or how about using it to improve our crumbling highways and bridges? There are so many other uses for that money that it boggles the mind to think we're wasting it on a government agency that provides nothing but a bunch of high paying jobs.
What say you?
