Ahh...I didn't realize where you were coming from. My bad, I never should have addressed your initial post. I'm not going to argue with you over how bad NASA is. Nothing I could say would change your mind, only fuel your need to argue your believes.

My statement; China is about China. NASA spends a lot of money which benefits everyone.

The point I was making is that NASA spends a lot of money on research, exploration, etc., and the information and results are available for all. Missions are laid out for everyone to learn from and not kept secret (other than military). The same cannot be said for China.

Overall IMO I think NASA is doing great, sure there is some pork to be cut and politics play a big part of it but the information provided by NASA from all their projects from studying the Earth to beyond the solar system is unmatched and well worth the money spent.

Good luck on your quest,
