It's so pathetic. NASA is just a boondoggle for politicians to funnel public funds to their constituencies. Nothing ever works and nothing ever gets done.
Never change Lemmy, never change.
What the fuck are you on about? Have you ever heard of the SLS?
It was born as a way to funnel public funds into missile research.
You are right about sls but the rest of NASAs projects are great.
Mars Sample Return?
Look. I really want NASA to succeed. But this kind of shit just really infuriates me.
nasa experimental (science) shit is great, but their operational shit (launch vehicles, iss crew vehicles, etc except spacex ones) are incredibly inefficient in terms of cost
