Whoopi Goldberg says DOGE should cut funding to SpaceX because the U.S. government already has NASA.

LMAO.

Goldberg thought she had a mic drop moment when she made the mind-numbing comment.

"I don't remember asking for [SpaceX]. When did I say, 'Hey, we need another agency next to NASA.'"

"When did we start paying for his stuff? SpaceX."

"He you know that he he's he's gonna be cutting Yeah. Uh, NASA. Yeah. Yeah. That's the competition."

"If we wanna cut some money, let's cut some of these."

Whoopi doesn’t understand that NASA doesn’t actually build stuff. NASA contracts out to have other companies actually do the work.

SpaceX, Boeing, ULA, etc.

“I mean, SpaceX has replaced Boeing. LOL”
Boeing chased off all it’s good engineers
years ago in search of “share value”.
So now they make schiff.
I was one of those engineers, I went to another company
and consequently retired at age 55 in Hawaii with property and two houses.
Would you rather fly on an aircraft designed by motivated
30 and 40 year veterans of the industry, or fly on aircraft designed for maximum return to stock holders as opposed to being the best aircraft for the dollar spent to build it?

With the rest of the herd.

Do you think Boeing will now step up to the plate now that they have a competitor? I hope Boeing doesn’t go away, or that someone else comes up to give SpaceX a healthy competition. I’d hate for SpaceX to one day sunset like Boeing did if they reach the point that they get the space contracts without having to earn it (if they’re the only one in the game).

NASA is near extinction. But hey, their DEI and muslin workers are happy, so, let’s give them more money.

If you want a bureaucracy, NASA is the one. If you want someone to launch reliable, cost effective rockets on a schedule, go SpaceX.

“Do you think Boeing will now step up to the plate now that they have a competitor? “

NO! you have to fire every Boeing manager not having an engineering degree and hire new ones
that are engineers first. They can have Masters of Business
Administration degrees, but they have to be engineers first.
In my day I noticed MBA’s got laid off first.

That must be where I heard it. It applies to all the witches on “The View,” plus AOC and Kamala.

Just the other day I heard a pundit describe SpaceX as “It’s like NASA, but with rockets.” Whoopi is making a fool of herself. NASA has degenerated into a bunch of DEI clowns making websites with sci-fi fantasies. It is SpaceX doing stuff in the real world that NASA is incompetent to match, with any amount of money.

NASA really didn’t put anyone on the moon.
It was Lockheed, Grumman, Rocketdyne and a bunch of other companies.

So true. Because I am a big fan and follower of Karoline Leavitt, I have been forced to watch snippets of the Views attacks on her. W. Goldberg, while addressing Karoline, pointed at the camera and (paraphrasing) said that if it wasn’t for her and her fellow feministas pushing “woke” so long and so hard in the trenches for years that Karoline wouldn’t have her cushy job at the White House. As if Karoline got her job due to DEI and had W. Goldberg to thank for it! They should rename the show, “Idiot Wind”..
