It's not the only one, but Voyager is a great example of how NASA can take a minimally funded idea, have things break enroute, and still manage to get magnitudes more out of the project than originally planned. Voyager has been used for science that wasn't even conceived of when it was launched.
Makes you wonder what we could do if we put as much money into science as we do other things.
Yeah absolutely, imagine when military budget and NASA budget were swapped. I bet we were already colonizing Mars and probably other planets as well.
