      Yeah but the idiots in charge right now are literally keeping the money. They’re legitimately stealing funds.

      Tell that to the public school teachers holding fundraisers for school supplies. Even police departments hold staggering amounts of fundraisers for police equipment lol.

      I maybe wouldn’t donate to NASA generally, but a fundraiser for a specific mission? Hell yes take my money. We would have Gundams by next year

      You are correct, NASA is a government institution foremost. What OP suggests is akin to healthcare gofundme’s or that boy selling cookies so his mom doesn’t die of cancer.

      That said they do have a point, though I’m sure NASA has other ways of receiving donations.
