NASA’s budget for 2022 is about $24 billion or roughly $145-$150 per working person.
Perhaps a lot of money depending on what you think should be prioritized. personally I think it’s hard to argue that they aren’t delivering something of high value to humanity, especially recently with the success of the JWST. And maybe very especially compared to other agencies.
NASA is wasting the bulk of their funding in an obsolete launch system. Over the he past 50 years they have held back any economical progress in access to space.
???? NASA brought us SpaceX and other competitive private space companies... can't blame them when Obama got rid of the budget for these wasteful things then they had to back peddle because of politics ... "jobs" lost in all those states... basically a socialist program for those workers to have a job.
"Over the he past 50 years they have held back any economical progress in access to space."
without NASA there wouldn't be any SpaceX's and others doing space projects ....
?? umm SpaceX was going bankrupt ... this is a fact... without the contract that NASA gave them there would be no SpaceX, are you a Musk fanboy i am not sure why your saying.
