^ Don't know if I'd go that far, but the advantages of researching and developing space technology are ridiculously huge. There's always going to be some or another of plight here on Earth regardless of how effectively we spend our resources anyways. NASA is a place where some of our best and brightest minds can work together to extend the reaches of our collective knowledge as a society, and at least in my books knowledge is power so we'd have to be fools to not cherish this. And let's get real, if the US Government really just needs to save another $1 bill/year why not just take it out of the military? I just don't see how NASA could be at the top of anybody's list of expenditures to cut.
