      The military budget is 36x bigger than NASA.

      Mars could be the 51st state if the US were not so war hungry.

        Mars colonizing is not really a useful idea, it’s technically somewhat possible but there isn’t a lot to gain from it.

        Instead, keeping the earth habitable would be much more useful.

          The technology needed to inhabit Mars would 100% benefit the life on earth. Just lookup all the tech we got from the Apollo missions.

              Yeah, reason #2937 exactly why I support a nationalized NASA rather than the outsourcing of space travel to corporations and capitalism.

              Space should be ours, all of ours, not just theirs.

          Yes, there are a lot of better things we could be spending the enormous military budget on.

          I chose NASA because it’s the closest to military spending while still being peaceful.
