Prioritize NASA funding for scientific research & exploration!

NASA's scientific endeavors are invaluable, providing irreplaceable data from long-running missions like Voyager and one-time opportunities like the Apophis asteroid flyby. Decades of progress have been made studying conditions for future human exploration. Cutting funding now would sacrifice years of research crucial for maximizing our cosmic understanding and safeguarding exploratory efforts. Private companies have demonstrated unreliability, underscoring the need for a robustly-funded NASA to ensure scientific continuity. Preserving this funding is essential to capitalize on billions invested and not squander vital research facilitating humanity's greatest ambitions of exploration and discovery.
