How can NASA budget represent 1% of US GDP, starting under Nixon administration around 1971 ?
A kind of "iron rule" never broken on the next 35 years until our days.
Do not change the presidents since Nixon.
For info, NASA budget currently represent 0.6% of the GDP.
I don't know enough US institutions.
How much difference would this rule make to the shuttle, probes, space station, and Hubble funding ? big boost ?
