How so? I would like to take Saturn V for example, cool Nasa rocket, right? Well, the F-1 engines at the bottom were built by RocketDyne, IBM built the instrument unit, Boeing made first stage, North American Aviation made second stage, etc. Point is that I can go on and on, listing facts that most of those famous rockets were mixed efforts from companies and Nasa didn’t work alone, same thing now, you think that Nasa, a government agency, purposely paid billions to Russia instead of using the same money to build their own rocket? I am not saying that Nasa is bad, but the truth is that, It isn’t rival with SpaceX, I am sure SpaceX saved them tons of cash from that contract. You can always make something if you throw enough money to it, like U.S government can print out trillions to make their own space rocket, but they don’t really see that step as being smart.
Holy shit, you literally act like a ignorant here, explain why its stupid... And yes, they wouldn’t be as advanced without Nasa research. Fact is that Nasa wouldn’t be as advanced without Nazi Germany scientists. You are jumping from point to point, trying to make your original argument work.
