NASA, as a government agency, must be responsive to the values of society, regardless of whether you or I might agree with public sentiment of the moment.

AND just as importantly, such agencies MUST make the case to the public that they are effectively achieving those results.

If people are missing key points about the value of governmental agencies, then government needs to work harder to engage with the people.
