Why would you even say that considering how huge this is?


How huge is it? What's something that you can access now that you couldn't before?


Define "before". Is it a day ago, a month ago, a year ago?

NASA does research. It also publishes research. The latter is a subset of the former and we don't know how the subset compares to the superset.

I can access what it has published in 2016 which I couldn't access in 2015.

I'm not aware of, or know, everything an organization with a $20 billion budget this year and roughly 4% of the US GDP during the Cold War ever did and found there's no difference between that and what it published..

My comment was because I assumed that NASA didn't publish all its research before. Considering the size of that knowledge base, is this assumption so stupid and negative to deserve to be downvoted that much?


> with a $20 billion budget this year and roughly 4% of the US GDP during the Cold War

Just a minor note that it wasn't 4% (of US spending, not of GDP) for the bulk of the Cold War. It looks like it was only above 3% of federal spending for 4 years :

I stand corrected. Thanks for taking the time!
