NASA is canceling a water-seeking moon rover because of cost overruns and launch delays. The space agency announced the news Wednesday, days before the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
What probably makes things worse is I can’t imagine NASA gets to build much institutional knowledge, between sections of it getting privatized and the robotics division is probably just a resume builder for people who want to make apps where you feed in a picture of your dog and the app tells you what kind of carpet it is.
NASA sucks without being able to “hire” engineers from a certain central European country who were working for a particular type of right wing government and their rocket program during the 1940s.
Things are realy different when you can’t just jump start your technological race against your biggest enemy by just “referencing” from others lol.
NASA sucks without the Soviet Union.
NASA was funded as a way to launder the reputation of rocket propulsion research, which has some other purposes than space travel
NASA started sucking with the Nixon era post-Apollo budget cuts
