It appears that NASA is vainly trying to find a purpose to their existence since the "Could We Be Smashed By An Asteroid" craze of the late 90's has died out and the fact that 16 schmucks on an island are getting better ratings than the exploration of what truly is the modern-day frontier.
Personally, I want to keep them around, no matter what they have to do to get funding. It may be the packrat in me, but NASA seems to be one of those things you want to have handy because you'll never know when you'll need it.
That's right. NASA is America's duct tape.
