  Shouldn’t be incompatible with nationalizing SpaceX and Starlink. Just give it all to NASA, actually.

    Sure, that’s the ideal.

    Is it likely? Ehhhh

      From this admin? Nah. It’ll be stolen and given to, idk, Thiel ir Vance or whoever, but not nationalized, just reprivatized.

    Looks like we found someone who believed it was financially necessary for the manufacture of the shuttle to be spread across the country.

  What “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.

  If that was actually their expenditure I don’t think they’d have their budget cut.
