I downvoted both of you because you're off-topic.

  No they are precisly on-topic. Nasa is a defense project, it was started to design rockets, it peaked playing "our germans are better than their germans" during the cold war, then it funded aerospace R+D for defense companies. It's problem now is that 50% of it's budget is useful for subsidizing Boeing's competition with Airbus, but the other 50% is no longer needed to subsidize General Dynamics competition with the USSR.
