Summary: 1 in 4 Americans thinks NASA's budget should be reduced. I feel this stems from misunderstandings like how much NASA actually gets in the first place. I tried to shed some light on some of the work NASA does from my personal experience to make a case for why NASA is one of the best investments we make with our tax dollars.

what if nasa had the military budget?
Second thought made a video on that
iRx Destiny Then we would not have a country.
iRx Destiny they could then get some much more done. Simply put short their greatest discovery was made thru saving money for years so that they can have enough just for that one project.
he said what if nasa had the military budget, iRx Destiny did not say take militarys budget and give it to nasa... learn how to read.
iRx Destiny then we would probably have a settlement on the moon already. But that is impossible, we pour billions upon billions of dollars into military............defending from ourselves.
It's awful how some of the most important professions are the ones who get the least amount of support. We should be funding scientists, not hindering them.

The biggest issue I have with people saying "why are we funding NASA when we still have issues with homelessness etc..." is that they have no intention of funding solutions to those issues. They just want to defund nasa
So correct. There is no political will to stop homelessness. There’s no money for a business or politician to make.

You can see many more in the mars rover video, although they flash pretty quickly
I think its because its with him and the rover he worked on so he extremely proud of it
You know they really cant take that many pictures cuz for safety reasons and anyway they prob dont want to show everybody what they are working on and stuff like that

@Pourya becouse im an engineer and understand the mathematics involved. We've done scientific experiments before proving this theory. If you truly cared about knowing the truth, you should have concentrated in high school science and mathematics instead of dismissing it as a subject you would never use in real life.
@Pourya If you really believe that mathematics, algebra or any scientific proof is not enough to say what the shape of the earth is, that means you never wanted to listen at school or you just don't care about it and you just want to sound smart talking about something you barely know about.
@Pourya look up the science At 3 km, an object has to be round due to the strong gravity and why would earth be different to anything else?
Can you do this again 😭 With the technology of SMAP opening like a origami and seeing it in JWST, the DART project and all the things that has happened really excites me about NASA and Space exploration. And nothing beats you explaining about space and science!
Great video. Unrelated note, when he said "The first person to set foot on Mars...". It reminds of Eren says that the first person to see the sea will be the "freest" person alive to convince himself to transform and fight Annie.

@@daddyson9104 The Van Allen Bet is two bands of radiation around our planet. They're made up of gamma and ionizing radiation.

Consequently, all of NASA's "space walks" are done in a giant pool, making it necessary for "astronauts" to wear snorkels in their "space" suits.

One part is the lack of information about the real budget cost. The other is people don't value that as investment instead of cost, like having the ability to predict with days if your city is going to be in the path of a hurricane and evacuate before it hits.

NASA is waiting money because they are making stuff we don’t need and we should leave it to SpaceX
WillXDGaming Have you looked at the stuff that NASA is responsible for? SpaceX is taking already established technologies and making them better. But, without NASA's original efforts SpaceX wouldn't be around today. I hate government spending, but acknowledge that governments can afford to not make money on an endeavor, so NASA might hit a lot of dead ends, but some of those unexplored roads will lead to things like Velcro or memory foam. These are things that profit driven companies might not have ever discovered since a profitable company needs to make money... and it only makes sense that they would invest in items they can market and make profit from.
WillXDGaming NASA is literally the ones funding SpaceX. They are not competitors, they are allies, besides, competition is what got us to the moon.
As the dad of a toddler, thank you NASA for diapers and velcro. Edit: as several commenters have informed me, my original comment is not entirely accurate. First, NASA didn't invent velcro, though they did bring it into the mainstream. Second, they didn't invent diapers either, though they did make improvements to the design at that time.
Except that it was GEORGE DE MESTRAL who invented velcro, not NASA.
Lmao
Uh, Marion Donovan is the inventor of diapers.
The sound of velcro physically hurts me and you bringing it up reminds me of the sound and I’m just dying.
Lol I read that as "As a toddler" lol
Wow that was a great video! Thank you for the teaching moment!
I love this video, not only because it highlights how NASA needs a budget INCREASE, but how NASA has been able to get by for years with just that half a penny. If we gave NASA just a little more, bring it up to maybe a full penny and a bit more, imagine what we could do. I'm looking at NASA for a career in about 10 years time or so (im only in high school rn lol), and mark rober was one of the people who showed me how cool being a soace engineer is. Thanks for the inspiration, Mark!

What does he have anything to do with this? Sure he was a genius in his time but both NASA and Nikola Tesla changed the world for the better.
Screw a full penny! Give em like 30% of the military budget!
I’m from Canada but I really wish everyone in the States watched this vid so they’d understand the importance of NASA. I really believe they’d all support NASA by the end.

Visit the bible belt. Nothing will convince an adamant hillbilly.
Nasa fakes going to space. How do you not know that? So sad how braindead people are. Sad sad sad

Ryan threw you a softball, Corey, and you swung and missed.
You know, you may be one of the most inspirational influencers on this website. When you said 'it could be you,' It really made me think that it could for a moment, which is far more than anyone else has ever done. Congratulations!

At least it'll be much cheaper and a better funeral. I'm genuinely interested in this idea but I don't know who would agree to do thus to me.
shravan raja whats the grammar mistake
@@marcelszekowski315 He or she said that "THATS IT IM BECOMING A ASTRONAUT" but it should be like an astronaut not a astronaut. Hope u get it.

"The next person to visit mars, could be you" Me: Sleeping on my bed feeling depressed about the fact that I have three assignments due tommorow and that I'm clearly going to fail.
relatable on a spiritual level.
Sad😭
@ANTHONY BARRICELLI No worries! I handed in those assignments!
Lol actually I also have 3 assignment
Don’t worry,who said you have to assignments to go to Mars.
It was obvious for me why we should do that but the regardless, reasons were terrific , nice work
It is also a possibility that NASA has benefits in every aspect of Earth and helps everyone get benefits.
3M people watched this video, atleast one of which has worked/is working for NASA.
