The slap fight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has highlighted the absurdity of keeping so much of our space program and satellite internet infrastructure in the hands of a single oligarch.

    Yeah wait until we we have someone in power who gives a shit about science and then re-fund NASA and nationalize SpaceX under the NASA umbrella. (Pipe dreams, I know)

      I don’t think that the US currently can go back to the times when Kennedy announced that in 10 years they will put a man on the moon, by a long shot.
      To have someone in power that give a shit about science, you need a revolution to wipe out the current political class and radically change the mentality of the population.
