Especially if you don't live in the shitty country. Yes please, sacrifice the physical and mental wellbeing of Americans for an indepth knowledge of the Universe just before you regress into full facism. Your war crimes won't be overlooked though.

    I am not even American, but I do know that the US Army budget makes the NASA budget look like pocket change.

    I'd say you're focusing on the wrong sector..

    Seriously, I'm always confused by people complaining about NASA's budget. It's peanuts in comparison to the other stuff our Government wastes money on. Also doesn't help that the government itself is responsible for a lot of the money wasting that happens at NASA. The Artemis program being the perfect example, which is basically just a glorified jobs program at this point, as mandated by the government, instead of actually being a smart way of building a rocket.

    US americans are complaining for nasa, public schools if they don't have kids, public health sector, even for bike lanes because they use no bikes, but almost never for all the military expenses on the other side of the earth.

    NASA isn't sacrificing American's wellbeing, regressing into fascism, or committing war crimes. That's multiple other branches of the government. Despite whatever media you're consuming the US gov isn't one unified dictatorship, as much as a certain political group would like it to be.

    NASA is one of the few branches of our government that's actually somewhat decent and doesn't need a complete overhaul to benefit our country or world. It's already paying us back the relatively small budget allocated to them in several ways. So your comment is basically a whataboutism.
