NASA's public image is so cool and wholesome. Pictures of entire rooms of engineers erupting in cheers when their ship successfully soft-lands on a distant world and it's telemetry comes back green across the board. Smiling astronauts in their iconic space suits fussing with robot arms and deploying satellites. As long as you never think about how the space shuttle's entire design was dictated by demands that it be able to deploy nuclear weapons it seems like a great institution.
NASA is just as bad as any other US institution. The reason it's funding has been cut so drastically is that it isn't needed for PR against the Soviets anymore, and because weaponizing space is mostly handled by other agencies.
