Might be a bad time to mention this, but...Space/Sci Budget Should Be'ed
I gotta be quick here due to time limits but want to see what you
think. This is a bad time to mention expanding any federal budget components. This idea may need to wait 'till a better time to be promoted or implemented. But... Why did the space program get bi-partisan support in the 1960s? Because it was a national priority after the USSR upstaged America in getting people into space. To be quick and succinct: If it was a good idea then, it is STILL a good idea. NASA had like 4% fed. budget then (maybe up to 7%). Big Science and Big Space are not PRIMARILY about national prestige, though national prestige is always a good idea. Scientific advances that are not yet free-market meaningful, at any moment, do BECOME SO before all that long. Proposed: major increases in science and space budgets as soon as politically reasonable.
