Agreed. These are things that should be of the people.
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.
It dying is better than it being in the hands of a billionaire fascist.
So how come NASA was doing all these things before SpaceX even existed? SpaceX never put anyone on the moon. NASA did.
And NASA hasn't put anyone on the moon in how long? Did NASA make a re-usable booster? Were they even trying to? Were nasa planning to send people to Mars?
NASA has gone down the drain over the last say 30 years, would you agree?
