A reminder that the entire NASA budget is 0.37% of the U.S. government's annual spending. That's one two-hundred-and-seventieth of the yearly federal budget.

For that, you get: - the International Space Station and Artemis - development of new space and aeronautics technologies - maintenance of centres nationwide, each generating ~$7 per dollar invested - dozens of science missions, focusing on Earth, the Sun, the cosmos, and the entire Solar System

I've been thinking about that soft power a lot. How much of it is negated by what the president is doing and saying now?

Much of it, for sure. For now, at least.
