- Jugurtha 10y agoDefine "before". Is it a day ago, a month ago, a year ago? NASA does research. It also publishes research. The latter is a subset of the former and we don't know how the subset compares to the superset. I can access what it has published in 2016 which I couldn't access in 2015. I'm not aware of, or know, everything an organization with a $20 billion budget this year and roughly 4% of the US GDP during the Cold War ever did and found there's no difference between that and what it published.. My comment was because I assumed that NASA didn't publish all its research before. Considering the size of that knowledge base, is this assumption so stupid and negative to deserve to be downvoted that much?
- privong 10y ago> with a $20 billion budget this year and roughly 4% of the US GDP during the Cold War Just a minor note that it wasn't 4% (of US spending, not of GDP) for the bulk of the Cold War. It looks like it was only above 3% of federal spending for 4 years : https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/feb/01/nasa-budgets-us-spending-space-travel https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/feb/01/nasa-b...
- Jugurtha 10y agoI stand corrected. Thanks for taking the time!
