My (NASA) Day Has Come!

Posted on 10:56 by hony
NASA is asking the public to weigh in on their strategic vision and budget! AW YISS.

My opinion of NASA's "strategic vision" and budget here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Me saying nice things about NASA here, here and here.

(Disclosure: I ranted against the Mars Science Laboratory here. My opinion on that has evolved.)

TL;DR: NASA should:
1. Pay theoretical physicists to exhaustively prove faster-than-light travel is impossible. Conversely, if a feasible method of FTL travel is hypothesized, aggressively research it.

2. Pay scientists to identify and harness Dark Energy and Dark Matter.

3. Pay astronomers to develop methods to identify currently habitable extrasolar planets and then start identifying them.

4. Pay engineers to continue robotic exploration of the solar system.
