Comment Cancel NASA (Score 1) 425
We should cancel NASA and divvy up their budget as prizes for groups that accomplish specific goals (like building an L2 station, landing on Mars, etc.). It's a time tested model and the X PRIZE folks have shown it still works.
Okay so I'm being a little dramatic here--NASA does useful things. But certainly there's no reason they should be the sole funding mechanism for space exploration. The current approach is downright Soviet era.
