In my view, this is the primary reason that Musk pushed his way into the administration. DOGE is his vehicle into running NASA, but he’s also getting distracted along the way by eliminating barriers to his other businesses. All the while operating under the fallacy of reducing government spending.
What’s the metric used to gauge fears? Has fears risen by 2, 5, maybe 42? Does this comment make as much sense as this headline from a supposedly trustworthy news source?
Ah yes, the classic ‘save money by spending more money later’ strategy. What could possibly go wrong?
Correct me if I am wrong, but NASA isn’t exactly in the business of building rockets anymore. They will have the SLS for manned missions to the moon but the development of it has been such a disaster that they were turning to outside companies for rides to space anyway.
Its not like Space X is developing probes or landers.
As if that’s not the impetus behind all of Elon Hitler’s actions. Everything this administration is doing is to line their pockets – they care nothing for the country or space research/exploration – they want to loot the country be it by dismantling the infrastructure, or by destroying anything that is competition to their own companies
Some NASA programs are just job creation schemes. There was no good reason to mandate creation of Frankenstein new rocket from Shuttle’s “spare parts”. 2 decades later, the rocket flew once at the cost of 4 billion per launch, costing taxpayers billions in costs and truly holding back US space program. That program needs to be cancelled and money spent elsewhere.
I love how maga is all anti immigrants but are down with an immigrant literally destroying their country from within. Big brain moves😂
Yeah I mean at this point I fully expect NASA to be taken over by profiteers and all innovation go out the window and it ends up a mess like Russias space agency where they have trouble just launching anything let alone actual people in space.
This will of course benefit China overall. Possibly give Europe a way to make inroads.
