Please tell me cutting funding for NASA is more important than cutting funding for the International Fertilizer Development Association.

um.... i dont know where you are getting you sense of priorities from. You are posting spending on education and farming in a recession like it is unbelievable that people would consider it above NASA.
A lot of people depend on farming for substinance and the US requires it to feed their population. In the middle of a recession you do not cut funding to projects in those areas to send people to space.
