In 2014 NASA received $17.6 Billion in funding from the U.S. government. This represented .5% of the of the $3.4 Trillion budget last year and 35% of total spending on academic scientific research in the United States.

Yes, but only through incentive programs for private companies
Decrease the deficit, but sure because R&D is helpful to everyone.
Yes, but nothing involving animals
Yes, but send the funding to private corporations
Yes, and increase funding by removing funding for the military.
Yes, but we should definitely work on saving the planet rather than leaving it to go and destroy another one.
To an extent yes, should also come from grants as well.
No, since some private companies, such as Space X are funded by their own person. But if and when those same private companies fall short they could have a use of some help from the government.
The private sector is the biggest right now but we should both give tax incentives to new private companies and increase NASA's budget
As intriguing as space is I think we must think first about problems and issues on our home planet than the outer rim.
Yes, and allow private companies to do the same
No space force should be used for space exploration, and enforcement and defense of the United States of America.
No, human space travel should be left to private companies. NASA should serve as a regulatory body.
Yes, for the purposes of scientific breakthroughs that can improve daily life for Americans or help maintain military advantage. Efforts on human longevity should focus on saving the environment, however, and not leaving it.
a bit of both. We should focus on helping our own planet, but still be looking at space travel
Let's focus on saving the Earth, maybe fund for scientific research in deep space, have safe, intergalatic space tours, build a Tardis....
yes, as a global effort
yes, but also help in privatization of space travel
I think it is necessary in some aspects but private businesses are way more efficient and should be the main driving force for Space travel and exploration.
Yes it is important to know what's going on in the space around, but we shouldn't increase NASA's budget.
I think we should focus on out earth and our problems before going and exploring other opportunities.
yes, but the amount of funding should be limited .
Yes, but only for certain missions.
Yes but in limited scope
space isnt even real lol, its all an illusion created for a money scam and to lie to the american people.
Yes, but lower NASA's current budget, and put that money into saving the Earth
Regardless, NASA should be aloud to do so.
Yes, but we should subsidize scientific investigation into the environmental preservation of Earth before we give large sums of money to efforts to leave the planet we are destroying.
Yes, for space exploration and military missions
Yes, but only if they are transparent to the public regarding their findings. Lol. Also, maybe we should try to do a better job here on Earth before we go out and contaminate other planets.
Yes, but not as much of a focus on exploration and more focus on innovations in technology’s and resource mining of celestial bodies in order to help the earth. Space is full of resources that can help us if we learn to safely acquire them. Exploration though is rather pointless. Funding should only further things here on Earth.
keep the funding at where it is
I honestly have no idea but for me it is a yes and no.
Yes, but should not hold a monopoly on space travel.
Yes and no. It should fund space travel in instances where the money is available. But in times when the money is not available, the government should support private companies that do collaborative, transparent space exploration.
Some funding should go towards space exploration, but not a lot.
Yes, but it should not be priority over the problems on Earth.
Yes, increase NASA's current budget and focus on saving earth
Yes, but all countries should be required to work together equally without competition
Yes, but only fund it if we can fund the most important programs
It should continue doing what it does right now. Funding NASA's scanning procedures. Let companies like SpaceX handle actual space travel.
yes but significantly decrease the amount given and give to schools instead
Yes but as a needed supplement.
Yes, but we should primarily focus on saving Earth rather than leaving it.
It should be a joint venture with government and private companies
Yes, because we still do not know a lot about space and would like to know what else is out there.
work out the current problems and when the other problems have been stabilized then increase funding to NASA's current budget
Ellon Musk should pay for the space program all by himself
