Don't care or want to hear the "money is better spent xxxx" argument. Current NASA budget is $15Bln us, opposed to $430Bl US for our already "equal to the next 20 military budgets combined" "Defense" figure. In my eyes (and you'll never convince me otherwise) it's a bargain at 4x the price.
BTW, the F-22 and F-35 are beautiful aircraft to be sure, but why are we spending $150Bln plus on fighters/fighter-bombers that no one will even bother matching? By the time they even get around to trying the US will be fully deployed with non-piloted UCAVs.
