NASA requires the act of rebuilding it up before we can use it for anything.
I know, I worked there (Ames). And boy, was it suffering through the Bush years, which culminated in the complete destruction of the biological sciences division.
Why do we need NASA? Because, at it's best, government will always have resources and the gall to sacrifice that allows for unique and fast developments that are then used by industry.
If you're skeptical of the good or outcomes of NASA, I invite you to examine what they say about themselves (http://techtran.msfc.nasa.gov/at_home.html).
NASA right now is too weak to handle any challenge as grand as interplanetary travel. JPL can barely keep the unmanned division healthy.
NASA needs to grow back before we can use it again.
And a big fuck you to every republican, liberal and waste of human flesh who advocated for the cuts to NASA budget. Seriously, they get 0.02% or so of the fucking national budget. Unlike certain other things (DOD, I'm looking at you).
