"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Fair point, if irrelevant. They get money to do what they do. Money is not finite. So, money they get others don't. If they didn't get the money, others would get it. Surveying our planet is more useful than ones several thousand light years away.
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

NASA is insuring the US have dibs on all the cool research stations. The oceans and renforests belong to other countries, so they don't have much juristiction there.
