We know NASA is capable of doing some seriously cool things. But what could they do if we doubled their budget?

NASA's 2016 Budget Request
"NASA's budget advances the Nation's bipartisan space exploration plan and ensures our nation remains the world's leader in space exploration and technology, aeronautics research and discovery in space and Earth science. NASA will continue the development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System and Exploration Ground Systems that will one day send astronauts beyond low Earth orbit."

8 Ridiculous Things Bigger Than NASA's Budget
"The most often-used argument against space exploration is that we should use that money to alleviate problems here on Earth. But that argument fails to realize that NASA doesn't just pack millions of dollar bills into a rocket and blast them into space. The money NASA uses creates jobs, providing an opportunity for some of the world's brightest minds to use their talents to, yes, actually benefit humanity.

Would More Money Improve NASA?
"How much should we spend on America's space program? Does NASA's budget need an infusion of billions of dollars? The way these questions are answered gives some indication of why one believes we have a space program, what it should be doing and whether money is the key needed to unlock the barriers hindering our access to space."

Here is an idea.... Legalize weed and the tax funds can go toward NASA "Buy Weed We Will Both Get Higher"

What can Americans do to help this budget increase? Apart from voting on someone who supports space exploration? I'm not an American but you guys could speak up, right?

I wonder if Bernie Sanders would raise the NASA budget

The problem is, with big government agencies; the bigger the budget, the less efficient they become. NASA is no exception. Still should have a bigger budget though.

If NASA had the same budget as the military, we would have interstellar space travel by the end of the century...

Know what would be fun? Go to these Republican/Tea Party states and start campaigning to limit NASA to only one penny -- no more, no less -- one single penny of funding out of the tax dollar, for now and forever! Get them pumped up on the idea of limiting NASA's "huge budget" that way so they don't even notice that it would be ten times NASA's current budget.

This makes me think: why does our government, our politicians, decide where our money goes? Why can't we decide ourselves EXACTLY to what branch or department our money goes. Think like this: you receive your tax bill that says you need to pay X amount of dollars. Now you can just pay the government and let them divvy up your money under they're budget or you can write down, under a set of spaces, what percentage of your money you would like to go where. Say i want to support NASA and Education more than the rest. I could say i want 25% of my taxes to go to NASA, 25% to Education and then the rest the government can divvy up. I think such a plan would not only balance up our budget but i would put money towards what the people want and create less resentment in paying taxes because we would get to decide how our money is spent. No doubt there would be obstacles to hurtle like "what if one branch doesn't get enough" but i have no doubt it would work itself out.

Fun fact during the Clinton administration NASA funding went down by 25%, during the Bush administration it went up by 20%, people seem to think the opposite, the only sciences Republicans ignore are stem cell related and climate change. They actually like NASA since they have interest in scientific progress in most fields, thus they fund it.

The USA should just give the money to SpaceX they could do so much more with the money and be better for the USA for more jobs. They should give Elon 50 Billion a year

Some of the greatest technology we have today comes from NASA research programs.

With double the budget NASA could give us twice as many videos of astronauts eating in space. Possibly more teeth brushing as well.
