After provding national leadership on Earth observation technology and applications for more than three decades, NASA seems to have lost its commitment and initiative in this critical area, shifting much responsibility to less appropriate and capable agencies like NOAA and DOD. Human activities now affect the Earth system on a global scale, as is increasingly evident through loss of biodiversity and climate change. Such changes have have potentially major negative consequences for our social and economic systems and must be adequately addressed now, not in the future. Improving knowledge and understanding of our home planet should be priority #1 for NASA. Mars is intellectually interesting and challenging, but Earth sciences should be higher on the agenda and receive a greater share of the funding. NASA now shows an opposite trend.

Travel in space is another great adventure, well worth our time and money. A (very) reformed NASA could be a tremendous asset in this endeavor.

Space should not be controlled by private industry beacuse space is not a commoditty, therefore it should belong to everyone. If we start to privitize space travel, we will have wars in space. Just like in the mercantlist age(fought over gold) and the modern age(oil).

NASA is a fraud and should be abolished save for astronomy and weather work. Travel in space is hooey and a money pit.
