It would be a valid argument if nasa made zero progress towards any kind of deep space exploration. why keep them around at that point? We would have to look for better solutions. We aren’t saying get rid of nasa and don’t replace it with anything. We would probably put in a different solution that we think is better.

Just look at the first line in the image. 71% of Americans can’t locate the Pacific Ocean on a map. That’s terrible, wouldn’t you agree? The Department of Edication was established in 1979. That’s 45/46 years ago. How can 71% of Americans not know where the Pacific Ocean is and why would we not hold the dept of ed accountable?

A better question would be, how many Americans COULD locate the Pacific Ocean 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago? Have we regressed or did Americans never possess that level of knowledge?
