Wrong, NASA budget is flat when adjusted for inflation.

Contrary to popular belief, the budget of NASA is roughly constant after the Apollo peak ended. It was not defunded, neither by Obama or by republicans.

The failings of NASA have to do with being a huge corrupt bureaucracy and a victim of being a pork barrel for politicians.

There is no actual technical reason why a rocket launch must cost $ hundreds of millions, or why a new rocket must cost tens of billions to develop.

Thank God for SpaceX.
