Choosing Musk and SpaceX for Artemis is likely NASAs biggest mistake.
It was always part of Musk's plan to cripple NASA funding and pump that money into SpaceX.
If you look at the Artemis mission and think starship is the weakest part of the plan, you are simply not being objective.
At least for ISS, the choice is either Musk or Putin.
I don’t know which one is worse, especially considering Musk is aiding Putin via Starlink in Ukraine.
But as someone who works in the industry, it is a bleak outlook. NASA absolutely needs more funding for its human spaceflight exploration, Earth Science, robotic exploration, and astronomy/astrophysics.
SpaceX has launched more successful missions this year than every other space agency put together.
Fuck Musk and all that, but if you're posting this bullshit, you have Musk derangement syndrome.
for real. and starship is an awesome program
NASA is a fraud. Musk is just the latest goofy face of govt black projects. Keyfabe
