Just want to let off a little steam ............

Why is it everybody's suggestion that we cut the military budget to help
NASA.  Military is the only real (consitutional) reason for a
government.  Let's cut all non-military budgets, then the private sector
could affort to build these things for profitable reasons.  Also, the
use of space for military purposes is one of the prime reasons for
funding NASA in the first place.

Now I've cooled down.

I do support NASA, or more importantly a space program.  However my
political idealogy would have the space program in private hands,
except for military advancement.
