We will spend $479 Billion in interest on the national debt in 2020.

That's >22 NASAs-worth of money, if you care about space exploration. It could be roads or high speed trains or education or healthcare or whatever you care most about.

Instead it's going towards paying interest on debt incurred for cheap political wins in the past...

That doesn’t matter, because it’s not a binary choice — that is, we don’t not spend money on NASA because of the deficit.
