The main reason for lack of NASA funding is that the government has other priorities - the military, you know, and other items. According to this, about 50% of non-necessary spending is used up on "defense." I'm pretty sure that can be cut down substantially and sent over to NASA. I'm currently frustrated that we haven't landed a man/woman on Mars yet, when we should have done it a decade after the moon landing.
