![]() ![]() Of course this happens because is not about the general benefic, is about the benefic of those few that makes the rules. As I said hundred of times, inspiring people doing big things is what attract more investment to the country. If you really do something that works efficient and can be used. ![]() You get much more effect in the economy if you do the things right. ![]() But maybe somebody is always choosing old tech to keep it safe at the same time they keep all the money that instead will be needed for new tech developments, I really doubt it that if somebody analize all the budget with all the employes, for sure it will be still a lot of money missing. Is not about the workers, you can use the same money to make 3 times more of what NASA does if you have good politics. You seems more concern about how much money the people make with these projects instead the main point, space exploration. But maybe is like you said, my english is bad and I dint understand you. that is the way to do the things done", defending NASA position and politics. Your classic statement always is: "the cost is fine. Then the requirements are wrong, make things cost effective is the most important factor to measure how much it can do and the time in will be around. (and definitely not to the arbitrary degree you're insisting it should) And you really can't bring up Dragon either, because SpaceX was able to put the full budget they got towards development. It doesn't matter that it happened 50 years ago, that doesn't make repeating it any less expensive. It cost us close to 118 billion dollars (in 2015 dollars) to complete Gemini and Apollo. We went the Moon using a budget that was absurdly higher than what it is now, inflation or not. Its why the Shuttle program was ended and why Constellation never got more than a single test flight. Thats why Nixon decided on the Shuttle program, because it was supposed to be cheaper than a mission to Mars. Going to Mars has been proposed countless times and every time no one bothered to go for it because they didn't want to spend the money it would have taken to do it. Fact of the matter is outside of job creation very few in Congress care about NASA or our space program in general. The government doesn't know what it wants. You are disproportionately putting the blame on NASA where its not deserved. Its doing what its told to do with whats its given to do it. Under both Constellation and SLS, NASA has not wasted a cent. Either that, or you just completely fail to comprehend it. It wasn't their decision to cancel the program, and it was only because it was hugely underfunded (and because Altair and Ares-1 were poor design decisions) that it had to be canceled.Īgain, you completely ignore the reality of the situation. You also have to consider that even if you include the money spent during Constellation, it still isn't NASA's fault. You are completely out of touch with reality if you think that NASA could have pushed Orion out any faster when its budget almost always shrinks. Fact of the matter is, the less you fund something the longer its going to take. ![]()
