All that money that went to Boeing and Space X should have went to NASA. Fuck private space cunts getting our money. Those engineers should be OURS, not fuckwit Leon.

As much as I hate Elton, SpaceX and StarLink have developed genuinely very great technologies. I feel like NASA could have done the same years ago already, but apparently it needed a space cunt to do it. Sure it sucks that StarLink for example is owned by Elmo, but honestly… better than not having it at all.

Tbf tho, NASA wanted private companies to deal with Moon and earth space so they could focus on their SLS rocket. Obvs fuck that guy, but i think NASA came up with this plan.
