Isn't the privatised version called NASA? And they stopped doing a few things deliberately because they couldn't compete. And we don't know what the voting structure will be so it might not be "funds having their say" in a big way, right?
- badcppdev 3y agoCan you enlighten me about when NASA stopped doing things? I got the impression that NASA has 'always' used companies to build things for them. I'm quite cynical so I assume it's always been an tax->government->industry funding process.
