      NASA’s budget wouldn’t even come close to giving us universal healthcare, but it does teach us more about the universe and our place in it, which is also valuable.

      NASAs budget in 2021 was $25b, but their economic output was $71.2b. NASA actually puts more into the economy than it takes to run. Between providing nearly 340,000 jobs and leasing patents on materials and technology developed in house, NASA more than pays their own way. Not to mention all the advancements in material science, medical technology, and engineering that they provide. NASA is well worth the investment we put into it, and IMO deserves much more.

        That’s great. Give them more while you give me healthcare.
