Let's be honest, NASA's not what it what it used to be--it's in state of organizational stagnation and resistant to change. It reminds me of what's happening with Intel right now, that's why SpaceX and Blue Origin are advancing.
America is also killing a lot of people. Whether it's through deportations to inhumane prisons, cutting medical and food support, incarceration, or support for nations engaged in murder of civilians.
to say nothing of the cuts to environmental sciences and protections.
I guess I find it pretty difficult to care about the search for alien life when a federal domestic police force just got more funding that nearly every single world military. Heck, more funding than branches of our own military. To chase down something that's not even a misdemeanor.
I don’t care about finding alien life. Travel to other planets, expeditions to asteroids, supersonic intercontinental travel, those are a few of the things I’d rather have NASA work on.
