I like that NASA has been independent of the DOD (for the most part) until now. If the current state of affairs means that NASA and space exploration and the ability to effectively precision launch satellites is set to become a victim of funding, then it is time to absorb NASA's roles into the DOD. Every other country does this because only the DOD could manage the science/budget/personnel interface. The navy has some outstanding platforms for the launching of these systems, SSBN's only being one of them.
