Are you an American? How much effort have you expended in campaigning to raise taxes and increase the percentage that NASA gets from ~0.4% to 0.6%? If you've spent less than a few years on the issue, that's the reason why they're going to take 8 years.
Most Americans think that NASA is 10-20% of the federal annual budget. Most Americans want NASA to have less funding, do fewer things, and take longer doing them. If you want to have NASA move faster, you have to spread the knowledge that NASA is cheap. Then NASA can move faster. See efforts like penny4nasa if you want to help!
