re: Too bad the House just cut all the new money.....
I often wondered why NASA is lumped in with HUD and the VA. If I believed in conspiracies I would say it was done years ago by those who want to keep it that way so people will get the impression that NASA is taking money away from those "more important" programs, like it's an either or situation. If it were put in another part of the budget that was more logically associated with it's purpose it may not have such a hard time getting adequate funding.
