minus-square@Deflated0ne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish100•10 days agoHas anyone considered funding NASA? They made rockets that didn’t explode with duct tape and a TI-83 calculator.
minus-square@Uruanna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish34•10 days agoShouldn’t be incompatible with nationalizing SpaceX and Starlink. Just give it all to NASA, actually.
minus-square@Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish10•10 days agoSure, that’s the ideal. Is it likely? Ehhhh
minus-square@Uruanna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish8•edit-210 days agoFrom this admin? Nah. It’ll be stolen and given to, idk, Thiel or Vance or whoever, but not nationalized, just reprivatized.

minus-square@GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish2•10 days agoLooks like we found someone who believed it was financially necessary for the manufacture of the shuttle to be spread across the country.

minus-square@rottingleaf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•9 days agoWhat “they made” 50 years ago is of little value now. Expertise matters, and it’s lost with time passing. Still - yes. Nationalization is a bad solution because it gives the state power to nationalize. Seems a truism. Just let NASA work in its normal role. Instead of replacing that with SpaceX contracts.
