Is 6 billion even anything significant for NASA?

I think that's about a 20-25% increase over last years, maybe more.

It's too bad theres so many wars, the resources spent on wars could easily have us on mars by now and maybe even close to Venus or checking out Jupiter.

thats what everyone says, its part of the campaign tricks. If you know who your running against that lets you prepare, even tho you really don't have to once a party/gov picks you for pres.
However, he might be letting his wife run next, and then once her term is up he'll giver her another go
anyways i could have sworn i just got done reading about a week ago how obama was cutting nasa funds and also said we weren't going to the moon for a long long time

NASA's mission is broader than just putting people on the moon, and if possible bringing them back. Also, its importance is wider than just space exploration: through the engineering problems it defines, NASA becomes a potential customer for all those small and larger firms that have interesting technologies that await commercialization. So in fact, Obama is pumping $6B into your economy through NASA.

so true, I live 20 min from KSC and people are freaking out about the end of the shuttle program. Not sure of the number, but suffice it to say a whole helluva lot of people are about to get laid off when that ends.
as for 6b to NASA; I know Obama is coming here thursday to unveil a space "plan".... is that 6b part of that?
as for how much obama sucks, let somebody hand you a flaming bag of dog shit and see how easy it is to get it looking all nice and smelling pretty again.

but i do believe space was its intended goal and main goal. instead it looks like were working on building a space "base" instead.
at any rate id take putlin over michella anyday

as a budget increase, no.
the U.S.A. is so far ahead of other countries as far as space is concerned that it is our best interest to maintain and increase our NASA and related programs.

All good, but my message is simply: it doesn't matter what NASA actually does, fact of the matter is that if you give it a shitload of money, then it's going to spend a shitload of money. And that's going to come to the advantage of an entire network of businesses. I'm pretty sure that's an (perhaps _the_) important motive for this investment. Any access to space we might gain is a nice bonus at this point.

personally if they arn't working on space that money could be helping alot more people in better ways. Everyone at nasa most likely makes triple digits, how many more people could have been given jobs if that money went to real buisnesses. and they might not even be creating any more new jobs with that 6 billion.
I just did a quick calculation and you can build 120,000 mushroom farms with that money which can then either produce jobs, or produce food for the poor, either way its doing alot more good than NASA and there pens that write upside down.
