"Easier to sell American citizens... the $22.6 billion dollar budget" That's hilarious. $23 billion is nothing. You can add to that all the other countries' budgets and all private investments, it's still nothing. More money is spent on recreating the same consumer products every year, creating brain numbing entertainment, creating military equipment that will be retired before it's used, disseminating misinformation around the globe, keeping people in prisons. The space exploration budgets are tiny, all around the world. Same goes for money allocated for climate change.
