That would make NASA a military branch. In general if they reduce the military budget 20% and throw that to NASA that would be awesome and far better than militarizing NASA even more.

So, part of the reason why this is literally illegal is because in the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States government specifically wrote legislation to ban, “peace dividends” , i.e. any transfer of military spending to domestic social concerns. The military industrial complex and its supremacy over democracy in the American system is enshrine into the law at every single level.

NASA needs militarization. If we can't get along on Earth, what makes you think it'll be any better in space?

It’s already militarized. The space shuttle program had half of their missions classified to “work on military assets”
