@sunguramy As an ex NASA employee, NASA has always been the target of Republicans. The sheer stupidity of the way the US government is run... As a few examples:

1. Project cut, reinstated, cut etc... Costing billions of dollars
2. We ran out of paper one year, We weren't allowed to buy anymore ....
3. My chair broke, wasn't allowed to buy another one until the next FY....

Despite this NASA continues to develop brilliant technology only to be handed over to the private sector......
