No. Can u remind me again why nasa was invented? Was it something to do with a propaganda war with the USSR and a space race perhaps?
Did you confuse NSA (American gestapo) with NASA (a bunch of nerds that really like space and use American funds to indulge that passion)?

Anything a government puts out can be seen as propaganda. Nobody is going to talk shit on themselves if they can avoid it.
And yes govt tech usually has a military origin. Rocket motors, missile guidance systems, gps, computers, encryption, the internet. Just because they have some roots in military use or competition doesn’t mean they aren’t rad as hell.
If you don’t want to watch it, nobody is forcing you to.

I’m just picturing a guy in his garage hunched over his workbench tinkering away until one day, “Eureka! I’ve done it!” and that’s how the space agency was invented.

I’d totally pay for NSA+ to live-stream American phone calls and Internet traffic.
