Without NASA, the USA is loosing money, education, and pride. We are spending even more money,into sending astronauts to Russia, just to go to space. If reform NASA, Americas win in the Space Race, literally means. Nothing.
If we stop use of our tax dollars on USELESS things. Such as raises for our government officials, and put it towards NASA, we would learn so much. Maybe we could discover how to send man to another planet faster, or discover other life! How fascinating would that be?
The way I see it, is either we spend OUR money into Russia and take our pride away, or we can reform NASA and continue being a mega country, your choice.
