IF Nasa were able to dedicate the olympic's budget towards hitting the olympic KPIs, it'd be a much different organization. $20B would put an American on the moon and maybe even put an American on mars, surely that would get the world's attention.

The olympics is designed to get people to tune in, NASA is set up to create knowledge. Judging both organizations by outcomes that only the olmpyics is concerned about is a great way to obfuscate NASA's contributions.
