Well, politicians from Florida and Texas certainly have an interest in keeping NASA healthy. Lobbyists for aerospace and tech contractors are very interested in getting their products on the mars lander or other projects, by definition.
But I’d much rather have NASA healthy than have the government examining ”feelings” and “why are people so mean” and sniffing mouse farts and doling out money to a zillion noisy fringe social interests.
