Do you think this kind of thing is worrying or not?
have absolutely not problem believing this, the chinese have their heads down, going back to the moon before us, and are going to rule space, while we’re down here re-electing an orange baboon to make sure they do
I don’t see this as a bad thing, maybe china landing people on the moon before us will light a fire on both sides of the aisle to stop fucking around with commercial space contracts.
Over-reliance on SpaceX is causing the same problems to Artemis that over-reliance on Boeing caused the SLS program. A year and a half behind schedule, blown their entire budget on a meme rocket that only potentially lifts half the tonnage promised.
we are about to reelect the orange baboon, again. we are no where, going no where. it’s a complete disaster. there is nothing good about china gaining dominion over near space.
No. Space Force chief wants more money, of course there’s another disaster coming.
If they were serious about space tech, the first step would be to end all contracts with compromised Elon Musk.
Also, ArsTechnica is kind of a dumpster fire on reporting anything PRC and allowing ethnic slurs in the comment section so take it with a grain of salt.
SpaceX is the only legitimate way to make it into space in the US right now though. it’s mostly a failure of NASA, but it’s going to take decades for a real competitor.
Not a failure of NASA a failure to fund NASA
Well, both funding and design by committee. Specifically a committee of politicians not motivated by the best or cheapest outcome, but the outcome that funnels jobs and money into their state and most specifically into their donors.
What is that uniform.

I think i agree with the problems you touch on, but i still dont think those are the organization’s fault itself, more of an oversight problem
