You're viewing a single thread.
If they were truly concerned, they’d start giving it the funding it deserves.
They've tried everything except actually funding NASA, and they're all outta ideas.
NOTE: China WILL overtake NASA, the same way they are dominating the renewable energy sector — because they invest heavily in science, and they do it early. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand this shit.
But hey we tried giving a shit load of money to a billionaire space nazi instead!
Won't someone think of the investors!
Maybe we need to give more to the space phallus that the other asshole billionaire built. Maybe that’ll fix it.
You guys male me wanna cry…
Unfortunately that company is the best hope we have to stay ahead. With their low cost they can monopolize the worldwide launch market(except Russia and China). So that funding, strategically, must continue.
What should also happen is funding spacex competitors, so we stay on the bleeding edge.
Is China staying on the bleeding edge by funding a bunch of private companies?
China has privately held space companies, yes. They are funding them, yes.
Maybe we should give money to fund education and research instead of banning books and attacking each other.
That goes double for our educational system, which has been aggressively gutted by the GOP: People aren't just born engineers and scientists. These greedy assholes have doomed us as a country.
EDIT: GOP stands for Grand Old Party, which is the Republican party in the United States.
Also to whoever asked and deleted their comment: There's nothing wrong with asking questions when you don't know what something means or otherwise want clarification.
I came here to say exactly this.
Perhaps a space race with China would rekindle the motivation for our money grubbing demagogues to actually fund it.
No, it won't. They'll just relocate to China, or maybe a super yacht out in international waters. They'll continue milking every last cent out of the US until it's a dead dried up husk of a nation and then they'll just move to the next one. Their supporters are too stupid to realize where the end of the path they've been told to walk is going to take them, and they'd rather blame anyone else but themselves for all the problems they face. So no, a space race with China won't fix shit.
Judging by the state of the US, you're much more likely to be right than I am, you cynical bastard!
😂
Yeah, but Israel /s
So expect a big increase in private space missions
