The treatment of NASA is a national embarrassment. There is so much to gain from space travel and we are just throwing it away.

like what?

 

and at what cost?

A short list

1. Enough energy to be gathered via Helium- 3 to never have to worry about oil or alternatives energies ever again.

2. A way to make room for an increasingly large human population

3. Access to new materials and elements that will help advance human technology. 

And at what cost?

Nasa's budget used to be a about 1/100 of the millitaries budget, and about 1/120 of what we spend on worthless social services. We could have tripled NASAs budget and it wouldn't have made a dent in our annual budget. Instead we halved it. The victim of a government that doesn't want to control itself.
