The slap fight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has highlighted the absurdity of keeping so much of our space program and satellite internet infrastructure in the hands of a single oligarch.
You don’t nationalise a company (SpaceX) just because the existing government owned company (NASA) is significantly worse. What do you think would happen to SpaceX if they did nationalise it? Lol. It would go to hell, like NASA.
The government should not be responsible for things like this. The government should provide services for necessities for human rights and general standards of living, but they shouldn’t take over successful companies just because they couldn’t do it themselves.
imho, we’ve over-privatized and that’s what’s to blame ULA for. NASA used to design it’s own. Bringing spacex into federal control also prevents further idiocy re: starshield, the ISS, and a whole lot more. I get you don’t like it, but between Ketamine bro and these spasms of ‘I’ll cancel dragon! - nyaaah’ we have literally put all our eggs in one basket being held by a drug addled manchild.
this isn’t incorrect. ULA is a fucking pork barrel of hideous proportions. doesn’t mean we shouldn’t nationalize spacex.

NASA was pretty damn efficient with the budget they used to have.
The wasteful NASA storyline is tiresome and busted.
