The NASA budget has been cut over and over again. New, exciting projects have been cut and downsized.

The only thing the majority of republicans and democrats have been able to agree on is cutting down NASA.

Unless something dramatic happens, I don't think NASA will be up to being a majority partner in any large space projects in the coming years.

SpaceX and the others, possibly. Not NASA

Last time I heard Obama wanted to increase the NASA budget, so is he not conforming to the majority of Democrats?

>> No.3612124

This is cool. I'm not particularly butthurt about NASA not being behind this, as it's not terribly surprising, if a bit disappointing. Why can't we just be happy about the advancement of the species.

Not that I think much is likely to come from this within the next decade. Not a "You can't compete with America" thing, just the technological barriers which prevent this are pretty significant and will require a FUCKTON of money to overcome, and no one is really in a position right now to dump the money into a program like this that would allow for such a timeframe.
