- sithadmin 9y agoAlso, way, way more of the design and production process is farmed out to aerospace/defense contractors than it was during the early space program. The extra layers of bureaucracy between teams is a big problem, and the profit motives of the contractors almost always influences solution design and delivery in a negative way.
- maxxxxx 9y agoTotally agree. Still pretty sad.
- avar 9y agoThere's way more political will today, it's just directed at maintaining jobs programs in perpetuity instead of at a worthwhile goal like going to the moon.
