In a nation as large and diverse as the United States, the role of the American government will undoubtedly be critical to the functioning of the nation. Given limited time and resources, however, the question becomes which roles are the most important.

Unfortunately for NASA, though, only 47% of Americans think space exploration should fall to the government.
