Privatize it. Then smart people like you can invest YOUR money into it and make a fortune while stupid people like me can save a little of OUR money and envy you.

No, basic research like this wouldn’t get any funding. But you’re welcome for improved cancer drugs and other health and technology improvements anyway. That CMOS chip you use to take your stupid selfies with your cell phone? NASA invented that.

Another GOOD reason to defund them. I don't need it. If everything they do is so wonderful, YOU pay for it and charge us for using it. Make yourself a fortune. Just stop asking me to invest in your money-laundering scheme.

Science != Money-laundering. If you don’t need it, then why do you still have a cell phone? And don’t lie and claim you don’t have one. You don’t deserve the technological advancements science has made possible. Basic research doesn’t return a profit, thanks for proving you don’t understand the basic economics of how this works. And unless you want to be hypocrite, throw your computer out the window and get off the internet. If you’re going to be a neo-luddite, at least have the character to live it out in full.

Computers and science preceded NASA. The technological advancements would have occurred without NASA. NASA could not have occurred without computers and science. You have it backwards, just like your insulting style of debating. Pay for your own shit. Don’t expect others to pay for your misrepresentations of how important NASA is, was, or has been. They LIED about their trips to the moon after sucking billions of dollars out of our pockets. No more. Screw em.

I remember when Tank first hit the market. We tried it.

The family was unanimous, it tasted awful. The container was eventually discarded with most of the Tang still in it.

Unsupported statement, hypocrite. But maybe we should have just let the Soviets make all the advancements and let them win the cold war. You’re a good little comrade, aren’t you? Yes, yes you are.
“They LIED about their trips to the moon “
NO, they didn’t you conspiracy theorist nutjob. Suck on it:

I can’t WAIT until my Apollo 8 webcast for the 50th anniversary this year. It’s going to be epic. The butthurt will be real as I simulate the entire mission in real-time using the actual Colossus 237 software that ran on the original Apollo Guidance Computer for Apollo 8.

The true “nut-job” is someone who thinks they can fool people out of their hard-earned dollars with the same sales pitch that has been PROVEN to be a lie. In your world, it seems that anyone who disagrees with you is crazy or insane. You seriously need mental intervention and help.

If the International Space Station is of little or no use then what will going back to the moon result in? Cut NASA altogether and leave a small cadre to coordinate with private industry.

Spend the money on cheaper planetary missions.

LOL! Cheaper missions of any kind? From NASA? Seriously?

Awww, did I strike a nerve? Guess I did. Sadly, you still have no explanation for how I was able to film the entire launch to landing of the SpaceX Falcon boosters, uninterrupted and uncut, using software that I wrote myself:
