You don’t nationalise a company (SpaceX) just because the existing government owned company (NASA) is significantly worse. What do you think would happen to SpaceX if they did nationalise it? Lol. It would go to hell, like NASA.

The government should not be responsible for things like this. The government should provide services for necessities for human rights and general standards of living, but they shouldn’t take over successful companies just because they couldn’t do it themselves.

We shot a space telescope half way to the sun and are observing the dawn of the entire universe.

And you just wanna see a bigger penis rocket🌈

Sending something one way into space isn’t hard. Having it come back is. Having it, and all the parts that it took to get it there and back, be safely returned to earth and able to be reused is stupidly hard.

Like I said, I value the space telescopes more than the Rockets that take them into space. I like the Mars Rovers more than the penis rockets.

Oh, I know, man I’ve been following the SpaceX project for the last 12 years. I’m a huge fan of outer space. But now that they’re slashing my science budgets for weapons budgets it makes me sad. And a bit mad.

NASA was pretty damn efficient with the budget they used to have.

The wasteful NASA storyline is tiresome and busted.

And why do you think they have zero budget? The government lol. You think if the same government takes over SpaceX they'll all of a sudden give them the huge budget that they need?
