Just wait until another country develops and successfully maintains a space program such as ours, with (ideally) regular exploratory flights out into the Nothing, especially if that program managed to run smoother and more efficiently than ours. Suddenly our space program will get all kinds of attention and funding because we Americans have to be the biggest/best in the world at anything that's high profile like that.
