3.  Why doesn't the space shuttle say "property of the US Government"?

maybe you'd like a large printed decal that reads "made in usa," too?

4.  Why does President Bush dictating to NASA what they can and can not do.
Name the laws which give the President power over NASA.

NASA is an agency of the executive branch and as such is under
authority of the president.  such is the case for most of the federal
government.  Congress enacts laws that the president then executes by
means of his agencies and departments.

5.  Is NASA a government agency or a private agency?

government administration.

6.  If NASA is a private agency under the auspices of Lockheed, then given

it's not.

7.  Given the above, if NASA is now a privately independently owned
government agency, is going to Mars a special interest project?

that's an oxymoron; a government agency cannot be privately owned.
lockheed is a publicly traded company.  NASA is USG.
