What if NASA had the US Military's Budget?

- In this video we do a little speculating! What could NASA do with the US military's massive 600 billion dollar annual budget?
EDIT: Made a little mistake at 0:29...I pressed the greater than sign when it should be less than. My apologies!
Edit 2: I have also realized that I took NASA's budget percentage from the TOTAL United States annual budget, not the DISCRETIONARY budget like I used for the military. It's still a very small percentage, but I apologize nonetheless.

The only way NASA will get the military's budget, is if politicians found out aliens were communists with oil reserves.

America would go apeshit and build 5 deathstars.
They dont have the money. Look it up. To make 1 deathstar costs a little over 100 trillion dollars.

This is like the best comment I have ever read on this site XD. I wonder how much they would get if they were black gay muslim communists with oil reserves ^^.
If NASA had the military's budget then Star Trek would be a *documentary.*
An old historical documentary.
Von Neely No, it wouldn't. NASA long ago departed from true improvisation and thinking outside the box. Private organisations are the ones which will do it, because they're driven by profit. NASA lost all sense of adventure by becoming obsessed with relatively trivial and 'safe' missions.
Yes, because every time they fail their funding is cut and all missions are put on hold for years at a time. Just look at the shuttle accidents.
NASA has a lot of cool ideas and missions, but with a low budget it has to choose 1 out of a dozen proposals, and it always chooses the cheaper, more "safe" missions because otherwise it might get its funding cut again and put more lives at risk. And if an adventurous mission doesn't produce visible results, i.e. results that have immediately obvious benefits, the mission itself will be deemed a waste of time and they will told to pull out.
So yes. NASA seems boring now, but it's still doing important (though not exciting in the public eyes) research. With a bigger budget however, that will change. Already, they have been given the mission to get to Europa by 2022 with a submarine (one of President Obama's last orders) with quite a significant amount of money attached.
Agreed, HG. NASA's management is full of red tape and very little in the way of thinking outside the proverbial box.
and that red tape has _nothing_ to do with the restricted budget and constant negativity regarding their value to society? of course not. /s

It all falls back to money
its about priorities, ofc everything would be so much easier if earth was one nation.
I can’t tell you how wrong you are with that statement.

Skeptical fryIf If we all united in the industrial revolution, then we would've become a class 2 civilization already
Skeptical fry ESA & NASA are already working together but both are underfunded.
+MikelG00 ,The cultural globalization has already started a long time ago and the speed of its progress is only increased with inventions such as the internet. This is because physical distances and boundaries are becoming more and more irrelevant and different cultures are interacting with each other more and more closely, which means they inevitably share aspects of themselves between each others. I speculate that with enough time, assuming we haven't destroyed ourselves, different human cultures will have homogenized their cultural differences far enough so that they will no longer feel the need to remain as separate countries and will eventually unite all humankind in a single world encompassing government.
this is what I hope for
And then there are people who thinks Earth is flat, I think I know why humans can't advance as a species anymore
I wish every war was a space race...
TheRandomHat JF it would look like star wars

Do not agree with throwing money at private operations. They'll privatize the benefits, and squeeze as much profit from the venture as possible. Also, I think your Mars plans are terrifically optimistic. That said, you made a great argument. You also did a great job of explaining the insanity of the situation.
Dude, the guy would have ripped his old self apart for that, so you are not alone.
@@YourLocalMairaaboo aside from the Elon part, can't see how his old self was very wrong.
Throwing money at government operations can also be corrupted and the money handed over privately
@@wladynoszhighlights5989a perfect example is our military budget. I watched a 60 minutes interview and an example was an oil switch NASA paid around $350 for but our military paid over $10k. Price gouging from monopolized corporations without oversight and most within the ranks were apart of it all. Its extremely bad how much fraud, waste, and abuse happens through the military budget which John Stewart brought attention to earlier this year.
@@chamberlain85terrible example. If you watch that video the first problem is he shows 2 completely different parts they even have different part numbers likely completely different manufacturers because how different the part numbers are which change from company to company and the guy doesn’t show any invoices. Years ago there was an accusation about the military spending $600 on one hammer but in reality it was one order of a bunch of hammers. If someone was scamming they wouldn’t put one hammer for $600 or 1 oil switch for 10,000 if the switch really only costs a few hundred they would put 50 hammers and 50 oil switches so when someone sees the invoice they don’t think to look into it because it looks legit. You can’t believe everything because the media tells you and shouldn’t make a decision on something without taking everything into consideration.
There's a rather bitterly cynical observation that many NASA employees make in their private conversations, saying: "Since 1969, no federal-level office-holder has won an election by telling the voters, 'I wanna give more money to NASA'."
My father worked at White House Communications back in the late 70s and through most of the 80s. One of his supervisors had previously worked for NASA during the early 70s, at the end of the Apollo program and during the lag time between it's cancellation and the development of the STS. He knew of my interest in the space program, and once told me that if, for only one decade, the space program could be funded at a level just one-sixth that of the annual defense budget, NASA could fund multiple LEO space stations, a permanent lunar base, and be well on it's way to accomplishing a crewed mission to Mars. He said that the astronaut corps would number in the thousands, and several hundred would be involved in active space missions at any given time. In addition, NASA could launch and conduct a slew of robotic exploratory probes, landers, and rovers to the outer planets and their moons, along with research into next-generation propulsion systems, leaving chemical rockets behind in favor of nuclear-thermal, ion, and plasma-powered propulsion systems. Furthermore, (and here's the kicker) was that fully 50% of that one-sixth defense budget diversion would require nothing more than withholding payments to defense contractors that were chronically delinquent on their contract obligations.
I was reading with passion until end but last sentences broke my heart.
thats so sad
@Ot Skorzeny if we could use the resources of our solar sistem we could help humanity, for example the moon.
Except mars, going to mars is dumb as fuck.
Dinosaur 1978 how is Mars a not so good place to go to, yeah it’s a harsh environment, barely any trace of magnetic field, little to no atmosphere, but it has traces of water, ice in the poles, eventually when we have the technology we can terraform the planet. Maybe in the thousands of years later. Even then, Mars is the gateway to the outer planets and the asteroid belt, filled with lumps of rock rich in metals that we can extract to build more spacecraft, thus more missions or take it back to earth. It’s because Mars has a considerably lower gravitational pull than Earth, making rockets lighter and carry less fuel to escape the planet, or even then it could be replaced by electromagnet launchers.
@Renagadde IKR i never judged nothing, what i'm refering to is that creating a permanent base (if it is possible) it's dumb.

+Arthur O'Brien I agree, the U.S. has definitely played a big part in this relatively peaceful period since WWII, we've had some wars, but nothing that even comes close to WWII. If it weren't for NATO Russia would have probably conquered most of Europe by now. It's just kind of sad when you think about all we could accomplish if we all got along.
bucky13
Yes I just don't like to ponder it because it's a dangerous dream in my opinion. It's like saying: "Think about all the dope you could buy with your rent money!"
Unfortunately, we will never really set all the ressources we need for security free. But we can be thankful that we live in a time were we can even think about using _some_ of our ressources for different things than basic needs.
It's because the US does not maintain a strictly defensive military like other countries do. Other countries tend to follow a logic of "be about as good as your enemy" to prevent invasions while at the same time not having to engage in a costly arms race. However the US follows a logic that is more like "be prepared to literally fucking anything", where anything includes invading the rest of the world and stomping everything. The US military is not defensive - it's a 'we can do whatever the fuck we want' statement to the rest of the world.
My issue with this is that - besides the questionable political choice - it's a completely imaginary purpose for a military to have. The chances of that kind of power ever being needed or wanted are pretty much as close to zero as you can possibly get, kinda like that exponential fraction equation from high school; that makes it overall a waste of money in my view, especially because with the existence of nukes the kind of bully behavior that such a military would allow is not really possible against anyone but tiny countries for proxy wars... which do not require 8000 tanks anyways.
*****
I need it. Because I'm not an US citizen and my country does not have a capable military.
The US military *does* have a defensive purpose, it defends half of the world, and lessens the need for other states to militarize.
A quote that sums it up really well I think is this:
"[..]Because if we don't have them[nukes], then Japanese will start building them like Toyotas, and unlike North Koreas nuclear weapons *they will work*."
Now what's easier, prevent nuclear war with 2 actors, or prevent nuclear war with 100 nuclear actors?
Also, the US military acts preemptively, which is controversial, and probably should be, but supporting that policy can be rationally defended.

Imagine how big NASA's budget would be if they discovered oil on mars.
Remember, we don't need to run out of oil for there to be a catastrophe. We just need to run out of affordable oil for that to happen. An ounce of oil from Mars would cost about a million dollars on Earth. So it would take you maybe 30 million dollars to drive to work one way. Can you afford that?
sadly, most people only think things through halfway, Paul is correct, its economically inviable to transmit resources from space to the earth without it being extremely expensive.
There are seas of hydrocarbons on Titan
Not big, because of all the oil left on Earth. Not to mention how absurd it would be to transport oil from Mars before using our own oil, coal, natural gas, and oh, unlimited wind, solar and hydro power. Crazy, right?

Adam Lopez That isn't really an applicable argument to this complex of a situation. The world isn't that cut and dry, you wouldn't be able to determine such a complex response to an immensely multifaceted issue such as this. In addition the massive budget cut that would result from the Military Receiving NASA's funding would be so great that it would severely undermine any sort of maintenance required to keep even the most funded mental parts of the Military afloat. It's not just about creating more it's about maintaining what we have, and even if you are for a budget cut, which is a completely reasonable thing, one of this scale would have catastrophic impacts as we as a nation would be incapable of defending from almost any major nation and would be almost useless in providing aid to any allies of needed.

I've dreamed of seeing space stations and colonization on other planets, maybe it's about time that countries stop thinking about themselves and start to care more about human advancements in space exploration.
Yup 💯
Big Snowy45 Well unfortunately that's how the world works. And because of that we have to change it.
Big Snowy45 I doubt it will happen in this generation, but hey, if reincarnation is real, you might have a chance in a couple centuries!
jocaguz18 Wait what? That's not what I said.
Exactly. It's like the USA is playing a military-focus Civilization 6 game and they're putting 80% of funding on military buildings, improvements and units, but completely ignoring Science advancements in the Technology Tree. Meanwhile, other Civs are focusing on Science and Trade, while India is denouncing everyone so they can nuke everyone on the next turn. GG 2EZ, USA.
Let’s just agree that if everyone in the world worked together instead of following our tribalism instinct to start conflict, we are probably colonizing the solar system right now.

Ah humans, stunting our progress because they willing consume disingenuous information and make rather stupid opinions from it.
research the difference between total and discretionary spending. it might open your eyes.
Shandwen history also teaches us that societies with more trust fares better.
Also, wars exist because leaders indoctrinate their people.
Not only that, kwazoo. The US spends a massive amount on space exploration. Those neat little graphics, with the helicopters and carriers? That's the same picture for space spending. The US spent, in 2014, more than the rest of the world combined on space exploration. Between the EU, Russia, China, Japan, and India, the only countries/organizations involved in manned space flight(I don't count the Azerbaijani Space Agency, for example), spent roughly 15.55 billion USD on their space agencies. The US, by comparison, spent *only* 17.6 billion dollars. We all like the EU, right? They're great for science, super tolerant, very progressive. They spend money in smart ways. As a percentage of GDP, in 2014, they spent .02%GDP on space. The US, on the other hand, spent .1%. 5 times the percent GDP spent on space. Still think the US doesn't spend enough on space? We can solidly place the US at the top of the list for dedication to space exploration by spending; why don't we scold literally any other country in the world, if we're looking to increase space funding?
*note, Canada does have astronauts, but in saying the US spends more than the world put together on space, while I didn't count Canada in the global total, despite their being involved in spaceflight via other nation's programs, I figure the Canadians don't spend the couple billion dollars needed to tip the world's spending towards being higher than the US's.

This just made me feel that humans are the most ignorant creature in the universe.
DareToBeDeviant I really think so too atleast im not alone :D
But they are. Humans as a whole are incredibly primitive and in 90% of cases incredibly stupid. The issue is, those 90% aren't aware of how stupid they are. People think they're advanced, developed, capable, etc. because they have all the tech, computers, cars, smartphones, internet, etc. but that is actually a HUGE deception. Let me give you little experiment which you can try if you want: Go out to the street and stop every single person you see using a smartphone, and ask them if they know how their smartphone works. Ask them basic questions about how microchips function, how the display functions, how their phone is connected to the internet, how their camera captures a picture, etc. Out of 1000 people, 1 will tell you a partially correct answer. The point is, 99,9% of people on this world live off of the intellect, creativity and capability of a genius born here and there, once in a long time, who enables the push of a certain branch of technology or science forward and enables it to spread around the world to the average person. Everyone reading this is viewing it on a monitor now. Do you know how many people watching this would know how to design and build a functioning monitor if they had all the raw materials to create it? None. Zero. Yet, people look at themselves as these advanced creatures who are so technologically developed, only because they have things someone much smarter than they are gave it to them.
"We're the only intelligent, civilization-building species in the universe as far as we know"- The ultimate showcase of ignorance. It's like an ant saying "I'm the only living creature on this planet as far as I know". As far as we know, it would be completely insane to assume we're the only intelligent, civilization-building species in the universe.
ExtremityGames - No, there couldn't. An alien race developed enough to build a weapon that could destroy our planet would be developed enough to realize they have no reason to do so, because they have access to the same resources on countless other planets that aren't inhabited. It is most likely that very advanced civilizations would not be aggressive, especially not towards far less advanced civilizations that pose no threat to them. They would have no use from us as slaves either, because we'd be incapable to replace their automated machine who would likely do all the work for them. To put it simply: USA wouldn't invade some tribe in some rain forest and in order to enslave and them and bring to NASA to work there. Enslaving more primitive civilizations is actually one of the very first steps in evolution of a species, the first hint of you being superior, and you like it, and you abuse it. That's what happened on Earth for the last 2000 years. But we're transitioning to a higher level now, and we have no need or benefit from invading much more primitive people. For the same reason aliens would have no reason to invade or kill us.
You say humans are incredibly primitive which is such a dumb statment. Why? Simply becaus we have nothing in the entire universe that we have found yet to be able to say anything like that. As far as we know right now, we are the smartest race in the universe. Thats from our point of reasearch and technology. Maybe there is a far more advanced civilisation out there somewhere but we can't prove that. the only thing we can say is we are not certain.
this makes me so sad. Why does the human race have to be so keen on war, rather than exploration and science
lolzman122 The fact that we keep letting politicians, religion, and corporations lead us is a big part of that. We need a completely new global system. One we've never had before.
Aren't you being a wee bit ignorant? There has been no such thing as peace. Lol. #queuehistorylesson.
JustSaiyanSteve Before 1903 there were no such thing as airplanes either. History is not dictatorial. Ultimately, each generation makes its own decisions.
It's in our genes. A remnant of the day when aggressiveness meant survival.
The problem is that if Country X (in this case the USA) wasn't so keen on wars, Country Y could become keen on wars and wipe the Country X out. Of course society is better for everyone when everybody simply trusts everybody, but society is worse for one side when it trusts someone that abuses that trust. Instead we just settle for a stalemate where everybody wastes money and manpower trying to conquer each other. It's the sad reality of human interactions. It parallels the prisoner's dilemma.
Although the Cold War did get us to the moon, alongside both World Wars being massive leaps in human technology. Another answer to this question could be motivation, humans don't truly want knowledge; they want safety.
i think at least 1% of military funding should be moved to NASA.
Jj Cowling 10% more like, that'd almost double the N.A.S.A budget.
it would almost quarduple
*90%
10 to 1 would be a great thing, the US should advance its military ressources rather than buying more.
It's too bad congress is a convoluted mess
Hahahah "I love you Elon Musk" from Second Thought... How things have changed for the good on this channel now
We should create a space agency that works together with the rest of the world, each country giving an annual amount of money. I'm sure its budget would be far over 600b/yr. Then that would be a true space exploration in which no one would be scared that one country will beat them to it first for the entire world is working together to reach the same goal.
Too bad humanity's pride and greed is too powerful for this to happen, any time soon anyway.
you sir, are the future this world needs
Why nobody mentioned this before?
I wish.
Indeed the ISS was built with the help of multiple countries. However that is one space station. Imagine the possibilies if everyone worked together to go to Mars, build bases on the moon, explore other planets with the possibility of life such as Europa, we could be exploring space within the next few decades, we could colonize all of the solar system (Safe for mercury.)

Why does everyone want to build the death star? Everyone has seen Star Wars, everyone knows it's weakness. Besides, it wasn't even good in the movies. In essense, one tiny ship killed it both times. Given the amount of resources it would take to build it, you could build much better stuff.
