Much as the US administration is an easy target for ridicule & nay-sayers, even I must admit, there's been some spectacular projects over the years, many of which helped to form the backdrop of my own childhood & interst in what's @out there' Okay, it was brought about in part as a direct result of Cold War politics, but in many ways, it's become so much more. Very few countries can say they have had such a long, dedicated (& some will say expensive) space development & exploration program. Even in the age of international collaborations, the fact that NASA stil exists to this day, is in some way a testament to the people that work there. Congratulations, NASA.
