Space exploration

[Helm]

I do not know where this budget goes. After the space race, things have settled down a lot. We don't see manned missions, we aren't going to the moon, we aren't going to mars. We're sending shit out there but... hm, it's a bit depressing, but I guess it's the sci-fi-reader in me being the most sad.

Realistically, I'd rather see direct military cuts that go to schools/whatever you mentioned rather than NASA cuts. 16 billion is nothing compared to your military budget ( I guess? Can someone back this up with numbers?).
