NASA's budget is less than 1 cent of a dollar.

Everything is about return on investment. How would you justify space exploration to the tax-paying public--we think it's really cool?

Can you cite a reference for where you found this? it is not consistent with my understanding...

Yea it is almost nothing. It the whole scheme of things it could be more, alot more. I would love it. I would not mind paying higher taxes if that would guarantee we go back to moon in the next 5 years and to mars in the next 10 years.
It would be nice if people could pick and choose what their tax money goes to. I am not big on space exploration, but I would love to stop funding Planned Parenthood, the NEA, and congressional expense accounts.

What the heck??? Your into rockets but your not big into space exploration????? Does not make a lick of sense to me dude! That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
Just because someone likes to build something and see how high it will go doesn't mean he automatically thinks we should be exploring outer space. That's like saying, if you drive a car, you must be into NASCAR.
BTW, I have nothing against space exploration, but I am not excited about it, either. I don't see how it really helps me on a day-to-day basis.
