Now NASA has Homeland Security work to do also!~

I see a problem in over extension:


excerpt:

NASA has a long history of undertaking mind-bending projects, from beaming
electricity to the moon to founding interplanetary bases.

But these programs all have focused on the business of space. What concerns
NASA watchers is whether the agency is spending its cash on homeland security
when it's ramping up for a big moon-and-Mars thrust.

"Who is paying for this (data mining) work?" asks Alex Roland, a Duke
University historian of the space program. "If it is coming out of the NASA
budget, then it is clearly beyond the scope of the agency's mission."
