We cannot afford to decrease spending on the one activity that provides hope for our civilization.
Not only does NASA give us hope that we can survive as a species by finding ways to protect ourselves from potential foreign object impacts or figuring out means to colonize other planets in our solar system, it also has been the catalyst for the developments of so many new technologies.
Here is a link to a web page that showcases technological contributions made as a result of NASA R&D:

We need to stop listening to politicians who are financially backed by huge corporations which benefit from the lack of research on climate change and who pretend to be dumb and ignorant (I surely hope they pretend) by denying climate change. ENOUGH!
