I'm not saying DOGE is or isn't a solution. More that NASA may be past its sell-by date and unfixable in terms of efficiency. It's like watching an old man still try to dance like when he was young. Maybe there are echoes of his youth but all the gracefulness is gone. But maybe its function these days is more of a jobs program.

I don't see it that way, but again, to a large extent they're hamstrung by the stupid shit they are required to do by congress. The same agency that has to somehow shepherd the SLS or keep the ISS running alongside the Russians, all just ridiculous political stuff, also ought to get credit for making incredible probes and landers and running the missions that let them do real exploration and scientific study. When NASA gets to do what it's really meant to do, it excels.
