A Quote by Heidi Hammel
I don't think I could advocate for increasing NASA's budget by a factor of two or ten, because I want us to have good roads in our country. I want us to have good education in our country. And NASA's budget is part of a discretionary budget, and we can't make that bigger without taking away other things.

We're not getting a good return on investment on all that money we're pumping into the intelligence community.
