4.2 billion for new scientific discoveries that could lead to a more sustainable future, and breakthroughs. Yeah I would say it’s worth it

SpaceX launched are like 5% of that. But apparently giving money to Elon musk is “wasteful”

I hate the term “per launch”. It’s per mission TO THE MOON.

Diamond Boas :
Why didn’t we use SpaceX’s reusable rockets and create the Orion capsule to mount to that to minimize waste… oh right, cause it’s the government

NASA's budget is 0.4% of the federal budget. It's a rounding error.

Average Space X launch cost per launch $67 million. I really want space exploration but man I wish we would use the most cost effective method.

NASA's budget on the dollar of the whole federal budget is 4/10 of a penny. So yeah I think we can worry about other stuff.

whisperedliminality42 :
Compared to the military that’s not even that much at all which is wild to say, but it’s a tiny fraction of the annual military budget and the pentagon can’t even pass an audit
