You have it backwards. NASA is actually really good at exploring other stuff in our solar system. They have sent probes to all kinds of places, recently direct imaging Pluto with New Horizons.
Their budget is actually absurdly large. The problem is they are mandated to engage in vanity projects like Artemis, which don't do anything to contribute to science at all.
