Because it benefits them (in kickbacks from contractors, for example) and because they can get away with it.

Having a well functioning space program? Doesn't benefit them much or at all.

Ultimately, it's because voters don't call them on their BS. If you've been a NASA fan, encouraging NASA funding regardless of what it's for, you're part of this problem.

I'm not an US citizen. I can't call out US politicians on anything because I don't have a vote.
