Not that I’m a big fan of NASA, but, what the heck happened? We were going to have a moon colony. We were going to have underwater communities. We had a nation filled with people with fire in their bellies. Now, the Democrats want us all to sit around and contemplate our navels while they loot the public treasury. The Democrats are worse than you think. They’re not addle-brained zealots. They’re a bunch of thieves.
And the criminals in the old media cover for them saying, “We didn’t kill those people or steal that money! We just helped those other crooks get away with it.”
They’re not worse than I think, because I realize they have a leftist agenda and are crooks at the same time.
Follow the money. It’s all about them getting their hands on what resources we still have and doling them out to their people.
Venezuela under Chavez does the same.
Obama wants to downsize us, then grab what he can of what we have left, to perpetuate his and the left’s power over us little people.
Predictably, politicians messed it all up.
A government program is still a government program, no matter how noble or inspiring its origin.
Government cannot be trusted to do nonmilitary things properly in the long run.
If we want moon colonies, we're going to have to do it ourselves (private sector). The biggest obstacle will be...you guessed it... government.
Rather than "partner" with government, entrepreneurs will have to fight the government for access to space, same as they would for any territory.
Same for underwater colonies. Such things just shouldn't be done by government, because:
1. Politicians won't base their decision on practical or econonic feasibility considerations.
2. Government will not properly manage the project.
