Space exploration is always "pork barreling". It's just a quest of where to send the insane amount of money. Putting it all with Elon Musk isn't exactly the free enterprise way either.

- bayesian_horse 4y agoIs it that different? You're pouring hundreds of millions into a single private company, enriching its share holders, and some of the money is making its way through various state's industries. There's just less of a democratic process behind distributing the taxpayer's money.
