> Give up bottled water and donate the money to medical research for a few years?
This is a false "we". There is no coherent group with similar goals you're talking about; just a mass of humans who care more about drinking bottled water than medical research.

In your specific example, you can't easily give money directly to NASA, so it's a bit murky. Just because you drink coke does mean you care more about drinking coke than spending money on animal shelters, the red cross or cancer research. I, personally wouldn't feel bad about it; everyone, excepting a few weirdos, is like this. "Action is distilled intent"
