Increase the NASA budget.

Created by T.R. on March 09, 2013

NASA's budget must increase for scientific research and global growth. NASA's budget to operate for 50 years had been approximately 800-900 billion dollars, while the U.S. military's spending for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars (as of 2011), had reached a high point of approximately 3.7 trillion dollars. That's of 2011, and it has been increasing since. NASA is able to operate and send a rover to Mars on its little (in comparison to general U.S. budgets for bank bailouts, military, etc.) budget. In fact, the 2013 NASA budget has dropped by almost 4% since 2012. Imagine what NASA could do if its budget was at its requested level of about 5 billion U.S. dollars, imagine if more. NASA is responsible for much of today's modern technology that is often depended on. NASA and the world needs this.
