Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. NASA's funding for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program is very minimal compared to their overall budget. In fact, in 1993, Congress terminated NASA's direct involvement in SETI, leading to the privatization of the program. NASA continues to support astrobiology research, which includes the study of the origins, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe, but this does not make up a large portion of their budget.
