Neil deGrasse Tyson: How Space Exploration Can Make America Great Again

Just to help put things in perspective, the money spent on the last bank bailout was more than the entire 50 year budget of NASA.

Out of a budget dollar, how much do folks think NASA gets? Thirty cents? Twenty cents? Try again, less than half a penny....I think we should actually spend more. I'd hate to see where the US is in 10 years if we take away all of the science, exploration, and education NASA provides. However, they need to find a focus or set a goal. Something they've been sorely lacking since the Apollo program ended.
