Why not have some gimmick to raise another 20-30 billion dollars a year for NASA through a modest tax increase on very high earners? That would get the budget to where it was during Apollo. With that kind of money, it would be possible to safely and quickly all the current goals NASA has from creating a deep space manned vehicle, to creating a deep space space station in 10 years, to landing on Mars in 20 years, sending more drones to the Jupiter and Saturn systems, funding deep space telescopes and Physics and actually finding viable planets, to Earth Science.

We could raise some luxury tax or national sales tax of 0.5%.

A luxury tax is good but I don't want this to be something that people who would struggle paying taxes already to be chaffed by if it isn't necessary. What would a 1 or 5 point tax increase on incomes above $500,000 (top .5%?)  look like in terms of revenue?
