Re: NASA has plenty of budget

NASA gets that budget on the condition that they throw about $2B/year down the SLS toilet. One of the reasons they could not build a a rocket in a decade was because they were required to keep their old contractors in business by ordering modified space shuttle parts. NASA gets to spend a little of their budget on science and exploration and have achieved wonders with it. Imagine what they could do if the US senate did not tell them how to spend their slice of tax payers' money.
