Space used to be inspiring when it was the playground of scientists and engineers. What made it all vomit was the privatization of astronautics (and the associated place in our imaginations) to the worst possible assholes and their cult of personality.
SpaceX is a garbage company that only proves my point. It’s a leech of taxpayers’ money for private gains.
NASA has achieved much more, much more time ago. If it wasn’t for the brain-drain caused by SpaceX, and the cashflow that was directed away from it, it could’ve been much more useful.
Now all we get is the dickhead and his followers exploding rockets “to Mars” (lmao) for shits and giggles.
Looks like outsourcing good management of public resources to “greed” to fix inefficiencies. Why is some greedy fuck with delusions of grandeur needed here?
PS: ok, ok, you need an outsider asshole who is unafraid to go against installed parasites in the system to streamline processes…so…you end up with one giant parasite that interferes with elections and manipulates markets…:/

Pretty much. The only upside is we’re getting more return on less dollar from this particular instance of outsourcing. I’m well aware that’s not always the case.

It’s not, and it would be nice if the human race ever figures out a system for fair and equitable allocation of resources. But we haven’t yet, so here we are stuck between corrupt politicians and greedy billionaires.
But there was a time when the system worked during the cold war, because it was tied to “national security” and the military. I just find it ironic that in a world that is so dependent on spatial products that interest seems to be taken so lightly when compared with the past.

Yup, I’m fine with it being done by a public org in the pursuit of science and furtherment of humanity.
Bingo.
I’m fine with national space programs and whatnot.
I’m not fine with private sector in space.
Are you aware of just how much of NASA’s budget was being drained for bullshit ‘cost+’ contracts with Boeing et al?
Elon sucks, but spacex has progressed space tech significantly, at a much lower cost than before.
National space programs are great, but the US turned them into a kickbacks program.
Indeed, as a state owned company, Boeing is really inefficient
