More tax-payer money for NASA.

As an ardent fan of the early space program I doubt this. I hated the shuttle program for many reasons but this would have caused more problems than benefit. I do consider, though, that there are organized efforts of fairly recent origin to systematically deconstruct and dismantle the accomplishments of the non-diversified nation that was once greatest on earth. Think about it, to push the current agenda of how diversity and inclusion is so crucial that's hard to do when you must cast the resultant shit-show as superior to the amazing accomplishments of the white-man past. So deconstruct the past. Show it to be a lie. Use "exposés" like this to call it all into question.

Shuttle was a dog, destroyed by bureaucratic incompetence of a NASA that had already become a federal jobs program. But I'm personally confident it happened.

So, the program was valid, but muddied by beaurocracy.

After Skylab we had no vision. Walter Mondale and William Proxmire saw that LEO was the best we could hope for. Shuttle became first a bureaucratic mess then the last of the old guard left. Challenger was destroyed by schedule-obsessed middle-managers. NASA for the last 20 years has been a DEI joke. That's why SLS will probably never make another flight.

Grown men who still believe NASA lies are like a high school aged child believing in Santa Claus.

You’re just being willfully stupid.

Meh. I had a nice enough conversation with Dick Gordon to satisfactorily answer many obscure personal technical questions I had about Apollo. And working and roaming amongst the rotting history scattered across Redstone Arsenal I've seen enough to have no doubts about the early programs. Shuttle was a gross misstep but they tried to make lemonade. The six or so launches I attended in person were at least interesting. But NASA should have been mothballed when Challenger broke up.

NASA's budget was negatively impacted by the loss of Challenger. It also caused a major hit to the credibility of the whole program as many called for the dissolution of NASA following the massive failure. There would have to be some reason other than money since that gamble didn't pay off.

A negative can be cancelled by another negative. Ask a kike about it.

Even if there was dog and pony bickering back and forth, ala ' let us all publicly argue about shutting it down - we all know that's absolutely not happening', Don't they get something like USD 50 million a day of sweet shekel tax payer money ?.
