NASA budget decrease proposal contrasted with military spending

April 4, 2026Ken Kirtland IV

Ken Kirtland IV argues a proposed NASA budget decrease is small relative to military spending and war costs, framing NASA funding as a political choice rather than a fiscal constraint.

I thik I found a solution to the $5.6B NASA Budget decrease proposal.
The war we started with Iran has cost us ~$30B so far in the first month. Estimated current daily cost is $500M
The budget also proposes $500B increase to the already $1T military budget.
