The biggest problem I have with NASA is that it's projects are mostly concentrated in the South and California. If we were to have a "committed" space program, I would like it spread into all 50 states rather than a select few. Were that to happen, then:

Of course, and nationalize all companies that are contracted for space exploration currently.

The closer to the Equator, the less power it takes to reach the speed necessary to pull out of Earth's gravity. It's just not convenient to do it in Alaska.

I don't mean all states need flight centers, per se, just that I like to see the manufacturing for a space program used towads revitalize struggling areas-particularly in the Rust Belt.
