Let me ask, should we care?
Federal auditors warn: NASA will miss a deadline for launching its new $12 bllion rocket program because it doesn't have enough money. The Space Launch System is scheduled for an initial test flight in 2017. The Government Accountability Office, citing NASA officials, says the agency has just a 10 percent chance of meeting the date. GAO says Congress hasn't given the space agency enough funds for the massive project. It needs $400 million more. The space launch system will consist of massive rockets designed to send astronauts to asteroids and Mars.

No,we should not care because that specific endeavor is worthless to the general population.NASA has done a lot of great things that have greatly improved our day to day life,mainly in the communications field.If NASA can bulletproof the worlds communication systems from solar activity the money involved will be well spent.If not,solar activity will eventually threaten satellite communications and otherwise.
Don't really think it's that important but if we can continue to give other countries and illegal immigrants free money than we should give NASA what they need.
If the government could give the money that is going to the illegals in the country than the NASA is going to have twice the budget each year.
