Congress is the reason it was divvied up from here to alabammy. do you think NASA thought it was optimal? jfc were you dropped on your head? part of running a national agency is politics, and sourcing shit from various states is the best way to guarantee your program doesn't get cancelled when inflation spikes or some other short term disaster crops up. you act like nasa drove those things, when it's literally politics. meanwhile you want to leave our entire launch footprint in ketamine boy's control? jfc permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 child) Aren’t you just making my point for me? Congress and politics are woven into NASA and any other national agency. Sure it’s not great that Musk is in charge, but it’s much easier to replace a CEO than to get politics out of NASA. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago explaining reality isn't making points for you but I get you're easily confused. gonna block you now, you're pointless permalink fedilink source parent
