    It might be cheaper to try to bring Kubrick back from the dead to fake some footage.https://twitter.com/AstroKatie/status/1110599327368523776 …

    Bar graph or NASA budget as a percentage of the federal budget. There’s a large spike centered on about 1966 where it gets to around 4.5%. After that, it drops to about 1% and since 2006 or so it’s been around 0.5%.  The last year shown here is 2017.

    In a speech just now, Mike Pence proposed sending astronauts back to the Moon within five years. Just as a reminder, here’s the NASA budget over time. Current projections for 2018/2019/2020 are small fluctuations on the 2017 point. See if you can spot the Apollo years. pic.twitter.com/sLwdEjhdJg

        Just finished writing an editorial about this where I soft-pedaled just how crazy this is because people worship NASA in my parts, but I pretty much say this is crazy.

        Of course, as percentage of GDP is misleading because the feds spend so much more in general. Still, inflation-adjusted NASA gets less than half what they did at Apollo's height.
