What if NASA had the US Military's Budget?

To do appropriations tradeoffs between Defense and NASA, they must be considered by the same committee (Defense Appropriations) so that the same vendors are funded with the same money.

Defense and Space budgets pay for houses, educations and consumer goods of defense workers, subcontractors, military and retirees. When those people spend money, it funds the rest of the economy.

There is only so much education that can be funded because there are only so many students.

The Defense Budget is now $800 billion. We left $600 B a long time ago.

NASA launch sites are now controlled by the Space Force, not NASA, so we are moving in the right direction.

Testing of gravitational stations is needed. We don't know if it is possible without making people fall down with inner ear problems. Testing is slow rolled because if no solution is found, there is no Mars mission and maybe no Moon mission either.

If they do work, putting a massive station in orbit of each planet would have to be able to grow vegetables hydroponically and protein in the lab (with bone and blood too). Families would be on-station and JPL would move to the stations.  They would also be part of a communications rely system. Lots of solar system clutter.

Space elevators would be necessary to put fuel into orbit for interplanetary and in-orbit maneuvering.
