That’s actually surprising that NASA only has 50% more budget than a single particle accelerator, given the huge number of cutting edge projects NASA is working on.
Never heard of diplomacy? These US security experts had a nice idea back in May:
We advocate for a meaningful and genuine commitment to diplomacy, specifically an immediate ceasefire and negotiations without any disqualifying or prohibitive preconditions. Deliberate provocations delivered the Russia-Ukraine War. In the same manner, deliberate diplomacy can end it.
How many people has the moon killed? Cuz Russia has killed tens of thousands. They’ve lost on the order of 250k of their own guys, and probably inflicted roughly the same numbers on the AFU.
The moon doesn’t kill old ladies sitting in their apartment.
This initial budget estimate is 44x the 500M initial estimate of the jwst for comparison. Jwst eventually ballooned to 20B, but I’m guessing this would similarly balloon over time as well.
The US has given 4 times that to Ukraine. That’s 2/3rds the budget of NASA.

Only about half a penny of every federal tax dollar goes to NASA.

This is one-time vs recurring payment
That’s why I compared it to 44x the initial jwst budget
Money spent fighting a morally justifiable war with Russia that we aren’t actually having to fight is money well spent IMO.
A million people dead. Money well spent. Thanks
Versus us not getting involved, there being a million people dead, the Ukraine occupied and Russia moving on to the next eastern European country?

They have mostly given stuff they weren’t going to use anymore worth that amount when bought new.
