As someone who thinks that the US should stick to what the Constitution says it can do. I do think that the Space Race is the One thing that paid off in Spades.

Yes it advanced technology.

But it lived up to what the US is all about. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It instilled Pride in America. It showed the world that we were the best.

And it proved to the USSR that we were better than them. They never put a man on the Moon. They didn't have the ability. If they did don't you think they would have? Too show the world that they were just as good as the US?

They gave up on it. Just as they gave up when Reagan started Star Wars.

Yeah they put that trash can in space they call Soyuz. Yeah I want to spend 6 months in that shitehole.

NASA has also crossed over into Defense technology development. Of all our government does that is unconstitutional, NASA was something that could be justified as a part of Defense.

It was bound to die, though with globalism. The country is not permitted to be rah rah about anything these days because that is “nationalism.” What we pay for in technology is no longer to our people’s economic, training and job advantage - it’s all foreign now. Being a nothing “world” zaps motivation and spirit.
