Look, elites use money for exraction of wealth from people to keep them below the level of independence not even talking about any competition.
Then they need to somehow utilize that money to prove their value. If they wouldn't spend them somehow, then, their money value will be lost quickly. What's the point of their money if even those who have them in billions can't find any real use for them?
Today they throw money they steal into military industry creating illusion that money worth something and at the same time converting them into their real wealth, control and power.
Space exploration is another obvious way to utilize money, but unlike military it is less profitable, because some things really could cost a lot, unlike military tech, and does not convert into power much. It is hard to punish some defiant country with Moon base or spaceship orbiting Mars. Also, space can't produce as much death as military tech could.
So, it is reasonable for them to get rid of any alternative to MIC and so reasonable questions about spending preferences. NASA is useless, since military could easily handle their space needs without any civilian structure.

It's not just about extracting wealth and resources but also about indoctrination and propaganda. Fifth generation warfare is about control of information and waging war against civil populations because people are viewed as a resource too as well as potential disruptors of the central planning. NASA is a military agency and it always has been since the time it was JPL ran by batshit crazy thelemite Jack Parsons and his fellow scientists they snagged from Germany.
NASA has huge cultural significance, especially in pop culture making it a vehicle for pushing certain messages and agendas (can you name another govt institution that sells as many T-shirts?) NASA promotes a certain worldview in society that places trust in The Science and sanctioned experts above anything else - it promotes scientism and materialism along with all Royal Society-bred institutions.
I think it could be legit.
