NASA vs SpaceX

Amata ✔ @sunguramy@flipping.rocks I've been seeing hate on NASA lately, being bought into by leftists even, and I just want to point out something very important: Musk has hated NASA for a *long* time. There is a reason it is being attacked, and a reason public opinion is being swayed against NASA: It *keeps SpaceX in line* more than anything else. NASA is being seen as "competition" to SpaceX, as the obstacle in his way. It has been like this for quite some time, and now, with DOGE and other things, he can do something about it. I would like to point out a few things: 1. SPACEX IS NOT CHEAPER They boast they can "do what NASA does for 10% the cost!" Sure, it's easy when you did none of the R&D. SpaceX saved on: Landing tech: DC-X project in 1991-1996 Tank structure: Shuttle SLWT tank, 1998-2011 Merlin Engines: direct descendant of the Fastrac Engine, 1997-2001. Those three things alone saved SpaceX over 90% of the R&D costs. It's easy to "appear" cheap when you're using off the shelf tech someone else (NASA!) developed. 2. NASA IS GREAT FOR THE ECONOMY! For every $1 spent on NASA, $8 is put into economy. Its stupid to not invest in that kind of ROI! 800%! At times, its ROI Has been 1600%! Simply put, if you defund NASA, the economy would shrink so much you would actually have to RAISE taxes to make up for the lost revenue, and without its existence we would be 30 years behind in technology and the quality of life for everyone would be much lower. Science and research is GOOD for society, it's the fuel for all progress. 3. WHAT HAS NASA DONE FOR ME?! (Surely you just mean NASA is good for tech & science folk....) Nope! Good for all! Ever have an MRI or CAT Scan? They wouldn't exist without the Apollo program! The software that made them possible was originally written to analyze lunar photography. Low power digital X-Rays was planetary body research. Heart pumps are modeled after space shuttle turbopumps. The software that designed your car was originally written to design spacecraft! Who do you think pioneered all the early research into alternative power like solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells, and durable batteries? NASA! NASA developed tech and satellites is also what improves agricultural yields while reducing the needs for water, fertilizer, and pesticides. Do you really think Musk gives two s----? No. He wants the money, he wants to let SpaceX run amok without any oversight for safety, without any "competition". All fights are important, but do realise that this one is a huge thorn in his side, and one that is keeping a huge problem from ballooning and swallowing us all whole. Do not be fooled or swayed by lies, of tactics meant to divide, of things being done to make you be angry at NASA. If he can make you hate NASA, he won. Expect far more space junk to fall, the night sky to be ruined by satellites, and the loss of all things good that proper research and design does for humanity and gives back to the world. Not to mention: enjoy seeing the horrible things he can accomplish fully unchecked. ETA: Now that you know, call / fax / email your senators and reps, and whatever else too! Boosting gets people thinking, but thinking is not action! ALT NASA #SpaceX #nasa #space...and 3 more Feb 10, 2025, 00:46. Edited Feb 10, 01:40. · ± 1.6K · ★ 1.3K Sungin Amy

I mean, the flight test might not work today, it could still blow up spectacularly... but certainly the claim that Starship wouldn't be able to even attempt to fly until 2024 due to environmental restrictions was proven false.
