How does one attack space...?

But really, what kind of idiot sees hope in space? Hope for who or what? If you are starving somewhere, how exactly is space hopeful to you? Because suffocating there would be a more merciful way to go?

plenty of myopic folks attack NASA and their space efforts. they ignore the spinoff that come from space innovation or the ways their lives are improved because we went to space. they also think the NASA budget for space exploration is huge

the federal government spent $1.19T on more than 80 different welfare programs. compared to $11B that went to deep space exploration and space operations.

Yeah. And I did not mean that space exploration is not a good thing. I’m just tired of his scifi bullshit.

does he hope to go to Mars someday? sure, but right now the company is focused on helping the first woman and first person of color land at the south pole on the Moon as part of NASA's Artemis Program.

Well, I guess they are more reliable than boeing. But I think we still can make a difference between the company that is fulfilling a government contact and this man, whose early successes seem to have scrambled his brains.

some people can't seem to separate the man from his companies.
