NASA: Increasing Awesome
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
In which Hank talks about the 0.45% of the federal budget devoted to space education, and what NASA is doing with that money. Just an aside, my friends often say that we shouldn't be spending money on space when we have so many problems here on Earth. And I understand that argument. But I think that mentality is flawed. We can't wait until all of our problems are solved (which they will never be) before doing amazing, inspiring, ambitious things. If we have nothing great to aspire to, nothing great to fight for, then what do we have? Will we spend the time and energy necessary to make the world a better place if we don't have great things to aspire to? I know it's a complicated issue, it's almost like talking about the psychology of an entire planet. But I know what drives me to make the world better, and it isn't knowing how horrible it is. The greatness of the world is what makes me want to make it better, and NASA has done more to uncover and create awesome than any other government agency. That's just how I feel. Thanks to NASA for their help with this video, it was really amazing to work with them.

If you look at that picture of March that you're showing look up into the sky is blue and there's clouds hon wouldn't one think this is not Mars of course it's not this is just more trickery from NASA and people like you that have no brains at all to understand what's going on is wasting my time

I'll tell you what a NASA is doing with the money they're keeping it for themselves there is no space so you can't have an ISS in space international space station there is none because there is no space the earth is flat and because you do not know this you look mentally challenged
-
Why would NASA be your favorite agency when they are nothing but liars and corrupters and you money grabbers is this what you represent
-
HOLY CRAP! NASA is awesome!!
-
Just saw Chris Hadfield do his stage show/talk/presentation/concert in Perth Western Australia, sooooooo frigging cool :))
-
Sometimes Hank talks like Barack Obama. Case in point: the first 15 seconds of this video.
-
I was hearing "TEXAS" and I was ssoooooo confused ;_;
-
Awesome.

Why can't NASA just get unlimited budget and get trusted economists from all over the world to control the stream of money and what they are spent on. This is not a troll I want a serious answer from an economy specialist or someone like this?
-
It's sad to see that NASA got his stream of money cut.. But, it's sadder to see that even with that budget cut that NASA received.. They are still (an America is still) the one country that invest the most in science and especifically in space.. That tells you a lot about the world right now.

Hank, while watching this video, I felt compelled to apologize for the part Christians, my family, and I myself have played in discouraging scientific discovery and decreasing the dissemination of scientific knowledge. I used to be very passionate about Creationism and tried to convince others to also be passionate about it. I convinced my family to drive to the Creation Museum outside of Cincinnati, and rabidly researched Creationism and arguments against evolution. It wasn't until I read The Language of God by Francis Collins that I felt maybe I could believe in evolution and in the personal God of Evangelicals. For anyone who has felt pressured by Christians that they could not believe in both God and evolution, I am sorry. So much of advancing science is based on concepts of evolution and on recognizing climate change and it saddens me that Satan has been able to use the church to hold people back from learning science and discovering things for the sake of knowledge, and even principles that might decrease world suck. The idea of apologizing for actions of organizations I associate/have associated with was first planted in my head by the book Blue Like Jazz.

Its simple ,more money for NASA less money for NSA
more money for people less for Army, security etc.
World need change... -

It should be John for president and Hank for vice president because they have to go by seniority. I mean, not all of us can vote but I'm sure enough of us can in order to make the news, I think. That would be cool. We should do that.
-
Wouldn't it be nice if you can direct 20% of the tax you pay to whatever government project existing.

I recall a curiously familiar line: "They have Weapons of Mass Distraction".

probably like a million dollars more than one on earth...
