And it is NOT “corporate welfare” as he ridiculously claims. The article says “Congress is currently considering sending $10 billion to NASA, which would funnel those funds to a private company in a high-value contract for moon landers.”
The government buys lots of stuff from private enterprises. FDR wanted the government to make EVERYTHING for WW II, but saner heads prevailed and used private industry to make arms.
Every US space venture has used private contractors to build launch vehicles and spacecraft. Congress appropriating money to buy a moon lander from SpaceX. The Apollo program spacecraft had five major manufacturing assemblies: the service module, command module, lunar module, launch escape subsystem, and the spacecraft-LM adapter. All but the lunar module were built by North American Rockwell. The lunar module was produced by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp., Bethpage, N.Y.
Why didn’t the old commie rail against those companies that built the equipment that took us to the moon in the 60s and 70s getting “corporate welfare”? How is SpaceX any different?
He is one disgusting and thoroughly despicable curmudgeon who HATES the private sector and success.
