Can someone tell me Ron Paul's position on NASA?

Question

I know that Ron Paul is all about cutting government spending, which I agree with for the most part, but I'm concerned that he may take his cost cutting axe to NASA, which I think should be getting MORE funding than ever, not less. Especially with the Mars push.

Answer 1

The following is copied directly from Rep. Paul's presidential web site. [See below] Since NASA is not strictly a 'constitutional' function of the federal government, I'm fairly sure [but not certain] that he does not support it.

"As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution."
