Background
In January 2017, documentation posted in the Congressional Record revealed a NASA program valued at approximately $1,000,000. The initiative's stated purpose involved theological preparation for various religious institutions regarding the potential discovery of extraterrestrial life. This funding appears to correspond with the budget line item later identified as wasteful by the OMB in the FY 2021 budget proposal. The program represents a rare instance of government funding specifically targeting religious institutional readiness for possible alien contact scenarios. Source: Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
