We need frame this post. Have you ever read anything so funny from BlackVagina?

Skans does it all the time. Impresses the **** out of imbeciles like you and @Vegas ....
This is a reflection of your eager credulity, the quality that endears you to influencers and their sponsors.

Sez a liar.

NASA was SECOND to the moon - NOT first. **** revisionist history cannot stand in the information age - time for the truth to come out.Skans » 08 Mar 2023, 11:29 am » wrote: ↑ NASA was a decent agency during the 1960's and 1970's leading up to and concluding with the Apollo program. They made some truly remarkable achievements during that era. Then, they became a bloated bureaucracy, more worried about sustaining their funding than actually achieving anything. They gave us an era of the useless space shuttle program. Two decades of lost achievement. Two decades where we should have landed men on mars and beyond. Two decades of nothing but wasteful spending. NASA deserved to be shut down after the shelving of the Space Shuttle program.
If the US is going to maintain military superiority, we do need to invest in space related technology. The next World War will depend on a superior position in space. We will need to be able to quickly destroy any enemy satellite and use our space technology to quickly launch attacks against enemy targets. Regan actually got it right in the 1980's. Clinton, Obama and Biden dropped the ball on making the US superior in space. Trump tried to regain some ground, but he only had 4 years. That's where we stand today with NASA.

Tesla is still not turning a profit. The company is worth far less than the total value of its stocks.PastorBlast » 08 Mar 2023, 5:38 pm » wrote: ↑ Elon Musk filled the gap.
I bet Tesla will go up now.. It's at $182 right now.
Supposedly I can buy and sell shares on Robinhood???
I be already quoted it. And you quoted my comment.
Sounds better than lab rat. But not as accurate.

SpaceX surely has a large number of former NASA employees working for them
The problem with NASA is likely the same as with complicated weapons: NASA is obligated to spread the jobs around, so that some parts are made in this congressman;s district, those are made in this other guy's district. Spacex is not required to do this.
NASA is under much less pressure to keep prices down. And until Spacex came along, all big rocket jobs were given through NASA.
Of course, technology has advanced since the first space shots, especially due to more and more government and private satellite launches.
Technology learned at one job can be applied to future jobs.
