[Foxscotch]

too bad healthcare isn't the real reason NASA's budget is so low

[Alternat¡ve]

DAE hate obama?

[Ceist]

if you can't think of the reason theyy sent geckos up to space to mate, let alone read the entire article, then who are you to say what russia should do with their space program.

[Oasis]

NASA no longer has a big budget thanks to Obama.

I wasn't aware the president controlled the budget process, thanks for enlightening me.

If love can get any better at home, LETS TAKE IT TO SPACE BECAUSE IT'S "OUT OF THIS WORLD"

that was sarcasm

the president doesn't control the budget of anything lol (as far as I know)

he does submit a budget REQUEST to congress, but bad things happen when a president is democrat and both or one houses are controlled by republicans.

Nope. Congress writes the budget, the President has to carry out that budget. Like it or not.

First off, you just solidified my direction of what I was trying to say rather than go against me. I said controlling wasn't a thing for the president, you said "nope" and then said that "lol president is a slave to congress" which hurts my brain.

Nope. President writes a draft, resolutions made, presidents accepts or vetos draft congress voted on, if veto, congress edits again, president vetos or accepts.

AKA it is a total loving stuff fest, but no, the Congress technically does not write the budget, 'nor does the President control the budget. Checks and balances, bb. Checks and balances.

why the forget does russia keep trying.
join your research with nasa and let the big boys with a big budget handle this. youre just wasting everyones time

USSR achievements:
Sputnik
Sputnik 2
Yuri Gagarin

NASA achievements:
Moon Landing
Mars Landing

What has NASA achieved since then in the last 20 years? Nothing. The space race only existed for the sole purpose of earning bragging rights. Since then both space programs have been reduced to nothing and only receive what's of the budget.

If you ever want to see bigger budgets and more milestones achieved, you going have to try and kick off another space race.

First man outside the solar system or something similar in terms of craziness should be our next goal.
