Uh, its called taxation.
You are correct, NASA is a government institution foremost. What OP suggests is akin to healthcare gofundme’s or that boy selling cookies so his mom doesn’t die of cancer.
That said they do have a point, though I’m sure NASA has other ways of receiving donations.
Tell that to the public school teachers holding fundraisers for school supplies. Even police departments hold staggering amounts of fundraisers for police equipment lol.
I maybe wouldn’t donate to NASA generally, but a fundraiser for a specific mission? Hell yes take my money. We would have Gundams by next year
Yeah but the idiots in charge right now after literally keeping the money. Their legitimately stealing funds.
More like voting for candidates that aren’t anti science.

Nope, its worse. 1$ is worth far more in a poor person’s pocket than a rich one. Taxation atleast tries to be more fair by taxing based on income.
