Because putting commercials on television costs a lot of money that they could be using for research.

But if they made commercials, and gained public interest. They'd most likely have even more money for research.
NASA's public image blows balls these days. If they worked on their public relations they could get way more funding.

>> No.2683566

NASA has made commercials, and they have been spectacular failures in raising money.

Yeah that would be great if public opinion mattered in the least in the USA.

NASA had a commercial for their Hubble movie.
Got me to go see it.
Just wish they picked a better voice, reminded me of BBC picking Oprah to narrate Life.
Fucking terrible choice.

O and I like this commercial more.

Yea, because public interest has done nothing for things like legalizing marijuana or gay marriage. Public opinion definitely matters, it's just the fact the general public doesn't give two shits about what you care about.

RIGHT!
I'm a private sector type, but that gave me a straight boner for NASA.

We've made (some) progress in legalizing marijuana and gay marriage, but they are still pretty bad examples for public opinion creating change because neither is very much legal at this point. The fact of the matter is that the top 1% wealthiest people control 43% of the country's wealth. The common man has virtually no power at all, except where he is being used as a pawn.

>> No.2683763

>>2683704
And how exactly does the 1% control. THROUGH PUBLIC OPINION. They control the media, they gain the support for or against what they want.
Same sex marriage is still illegal in California directly because of the public's opinion. The majority said FUCK YOU FAGGETS.

>> No.2683784

>>2683763
Same sex marriage is still illegal people with money haven't decided to legalize it. Really, more laws are made on bribes from lobbyists than from actual public opinion.

By their representatives. That were voted in by the majority of the public. People have the power to change things. Problem is 99% could give a flying shit. And the ones that do are the crazies who take FOX, CNN and MSNBC seriously.
