NASA sucks right now.
They are currently driving a vehicle around another planet, have landed on a comet, have a probe orbiting Jupiter and Saturn, just did a flyby of Pluto, and are about to launch a telescope that can see back to damned near the beginning of the universe.
Yeah, they suck.

Sorry, that shite is boring to about 98% of the voting public. If NASA wants funding they'll start sending people up again to the moon and Mars.

The Saturn V is the coolest thing man has ever created
And the most powerful machine man has ever invented, built and used - pushed over 48 metric tons to the Moon, which is obviously 1/4 million miles past orbit.
Awe inspiring and almost incomprehensible in power.

Just think what we could have done if we didn't flush all that money down the F35 toilet.

The agency's priority isn't entertainment.

It needs to be a little bit entertaining if they want taxpayer funding.

FTR, we had a man driving around on the moon in '71. All you've described is nothing special and pales in comparison with what we could be doing.

We've just scratched the surface on fusion. I'm not sure man will be progressing as so in 250 years from now. I'd be surprised if it wasn't a dystopian setting if any.

I did Space Camp back in the day and took the kids to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville last year. All the stereotypes about the South aside, Huntsville is the smartest 25-mile radius in the country.

Have an ex from there. She thought Arnold Schwarzenegger was russian and wondered if a bullet could be physically sucked out of a wound, like snake venom.

Trump rolls NASA into the DoD and they define a real deep space mission - that is their charter
I was with you until right here. NASA is not a military organization. When the AOMC's (Army Ordnance Missile Command) space role was removed from the US Army and integrated with NACA to become the backbone of NASA it was because we recognized that the exploration of space should be civil, not military.

If I'm not mistaken the engines (or maybe just one) are at the Air/Space museum in DC. Standing there looking at how huge they are and the "we built that!" factor..words can't describe how awesome this is.
I call this collection the Holy Trinity. It's in front of Building 4200 (NASA MSFC headquarters building) on the Redstone Arsenal.

You know what makes those rockets go up? FUNDING, that's what. And the funding could mess from the public and the public doesn't want robots and probes...they want to see astronauts.

Today's kids couldn't get to the Moon because there are no Google Maps directions for it on their smartphones. That's the God's honest truth.
See, that's some fricking bullshite right there. Sure, a lot of dumb ones are spewing their dumb shite all over Facebook, twitter, etc. while the really brilliant kids are doing nerd shite like studying.
I don't get the older generations, y'all constantly trash on us for living in a world we didn't create, living in an economy we had no part of, with shitty parents and a lackadaisical government that would rather line their coffers than see the American people's success. And y'all have the nerve to tell us that we're the problem? We're not the ones that gave the collective "frick you" to NASA. That happened generations before we got here.

What an incredibly ignorant post. If you truly believe that, then I feel sorry for you.

Yeah I mean it's pretty big. All you have to do is look out the window.

We all have our 10% of under achievers.
