I think all that diversity - sure, even competing bases on the Moon - is the sign of a healthy society. Monoculture is much more perilous. Centralization gives you NASA, market chaos gives you SpaceX.
- jacquesm 4y agoWithout NASA there would not be a SpaceX.
- stickfigure 4y agoYou cannot know that. NASA flew shuttle payloads for decades at a substantial loss. Who knows what aerospace companies might have filled that void.
- tuatoru 4y agoI don't recall the NRO or the military using the shuttle much. The shuttle flew for NASA projects. No NASA, no projects.

There are some exceptions, however in general this statement is true when we look at the entire data set. Market chaos also gives you walled gardens like Google/Apple App stores with outlandish fees and company policies like this one: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/06/eff-urges-apple-abandon-csam-plans/ https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/06/eff-urges-apple-abandon...
