NASA is saying that they need something like $32 billion in additional
funding over the 2020-2024 timeframe. But the amount is really
irrelevant. What's relevant is that one of the houses of Congress is
controlled by Democrats and they would go out on the launch pad and
shoot down vehicles before they'd allow Trump to have this.


Trump has not included NASA in his reality show scripts because it is of
little interest to his audience/base. He doesn't tweet about it, doesn't
rant about it in press conferences and doesn't raise it during campaign
speeches.


And yet it is Trump who first set the 2024 date.


Since either passing or blockng would have no political value because it
won't generate any fireworks at the 1600 Pennsylvania studios, it is
much easier to just process the funding and get it approved quietly.
Politically, there is nothing to win on either side. But from the lobby
side, both political parties likely benefit from approving it.


How much crack did you smoke to get far enough from reality to arrive
at your preceding conclusions?
