Dude rocketry is rocketry, if you can deliver a payload to the moon you can deliver it to Moscow. The whole point is that Kennedy got people to back insane levels of ballistic research spending (largely built on the knowledge of engineers we yoinked off Hitler) and be happy about it in time where hippie anti-war sentiment dominated.
i dont fucking care about some lunatic scheeming about some bullshit: good people received funding and they did great things with it, no matter the motivation. Period. and yes, criticism is allowed and some things could have gone fater or better or different, but that doesnt change the fact that humanity is makong progress. so fuck off with your scepticism .
I never said Nasa never did anything useful, nor did I say that we shouldn't have taken German rocket science and run with it. I'm saying people who think that Nasa was some benevolent program for the future well-being of mankind have a fundamental misunderstanding of real politic and the nature of government.
nasa isnt government. nasa is hindered by government. nasa is thousands of nerds living their dream. yes their dreams are hindered by rules that make no sense, yet theres spacex and Esa and whatever else... theres thousand ofnpeople contrdicting your bullshit, so fuck off, get real.... you are not the star of the truman show.
