Do you think this kind of thing is worrying or not?

    No. Space Force chief wants more money, of course there’s another disaster coming.

    If they were serious about space tech, the first step would be to end all contracts with compromised Elon Musk.

    Also, ArsTechnica is kind of a dumpster fire on reporting anything PRC and allowing ethnic slurs in the comment section so take it with a grain of salt.

      SpaceX is the only legitimate way to make it into space in the US right now though. it’s mostly a failure of NASA, but it’s going to take decades for a real competitor.

            And I’m making the point that failing to fund NASA is what has caused that and not replacing the shuttle system.

            It is not the fault of them if they have to go with hat in hand and beg just to keep going projects that are meaningful.

            Continue James Webb or scrap the ability to get james webb to space is essentially the a type of decision that had to be made.

            I think they made the right call and i want to put the blame in the right spot.

            Failing would be then deciding when they don’t have to that they didn’t want to build rockets anymore. At least that’s how i see it, and I’m not in those circles so it’s just like my opinion man
