Has anyone considered funding NASA?

They made rockets that didn't explode with duct tape and a TI-83 calculator.

I'm referring to how the post title shared here is in first person as if everyone is American. If that's unrelated to exceptionalism then oops.

The nationalization of SpaceX will mean a slowdown in development, like in the case of NASA.

Nasa with less risk aversion. If a Nasa rocket blows up that's big news. If a Space X rocket blows up, that's a Tuesday.

Those are different to taking over private companies. The government should, imo, compete against private enterprise in those areas, in turn bringing prices down and making it better for the taxpayers.

NASA is government owned. Look at the state of it. Do you think the government taking over SpaceX would really be a good thing?

Don't give bail-outs to billionaires.

These things only exist and are as good as they are because they’re not government owned and run.

Look at NASA compared to SpaceX to see why this would be an absolutely terrible move. Government is where projects like these go to die, while making every politician and contractor involved filthy rich.

Then the UN should start their own starlink-like company. Nothing is stopping them.

yeah but if SpaceX becomes NASA then what

only after they were betrayed by Hitler after they allied themselves with the Nazis to invade Poland.

This is literally pro-nazi historical revisionism. I've made a detailed response to this load of bullshit here, if you care to learn some history about it. Please do read that in good faith and respond point by point if you actually wanna get educated on the subject.

Regarding deportations in time of war, I agree it was a failed policy and I don't support them generally, it happens that systems and political ideologies you support make mistakes. This was one of them. It's still extremely minor compared to actual imperialism and genocide committed by western states in times of peace while plundering billions of people in the global south, and it's something that happened during a period of 10 tumultuous war/preparation years and never happened again, unlike the constant imperialism of the west.

Again proving that you don't care about brown people and your entire "leftist" ideology is supported on CIA propaganda.

I took one look at you describing the "liberating" of Poland by the soviets because some of it belongs to different modern day countries and new you weren't arguing in good faith. Invading another country and stealing their land doesn't magically become """liberation""" just because it was stolen by someone else first.

You can use this same logic to excuse the nazi invasion of certain countries as well.

Nice 30-year-old Fox News talking points you got there. Time to go to bed, grandpa.

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

Again someone who thinks that public policies are natural laws...

NASA could do and did do what SpaceX is doing now, but they are beholden to the government and if the government says "we don't do that for ideologigal reasons" then it doesn't matter what can be done.

You think the state of NASA isn't caused by privately funded politicians?
