Also unfortunately, Congress is far too busy asking if baseball players are really as strong as they seem and trying to choke bankers with wads of cash to grant more funds to such trifling matters as the avoidance of space bullets, so they won't give NASA the money

Summary

This quote suggests that Congress is occupied with trivial concerns, like questioning the abilities of baseball players and trying to regulate the financial industry, instead of prioritizing funding for critical matters such as preventing potential disasters caused by space debris. It implies that NASA is lacking the necessary financial support from Congress, hindering its ability to carry out its mission and protect against potential space hazards.
