Want to actually start posting here so here’s an intro. I’m an aerospace engineer, maker and aspiring astronaut. I’m a former NASA intern where I worked on the Roman Space Telescope (pictured). Now at Rocket Lab as a manufacturing engineer working on Neutron

@TrinkleWesley @rookisaacman Having worked there I can confirm more money would absolutely help they’ve had to layoff so many good people and had people leave because of poor pay

@TheSpacePlumber throwing money at stuff doesn’t automatically make it better or fix problems, it often worsens stuff like bloat and poor efficiency. @rookisaacman even says the budget should stay low so the organisation becomes efficient

@TheSpacePlumber NASA needs to tell SpaceX what it wants to do and fund them. They'll do it better, cheaper, and with much less bearacracy. ...I feel like I spelled that wrong.

@Noble_Zero1 They will eventually they just aren’t as far along as nasa is yet but companies like SpaceX will probably never get into the research only missions that nasa specializes in

@TheSpacePlumber I thought space X would be doing what nasa does but better since it private industry. Why haven't they sent a crew around the moon before nasa

@TheSpacePlumber That’s why I said just to outsource the rockets. They can focus more money on the other stuff and keep reusing the rockets to do it. It’s a win win

@SAHtoshiDude They do do that but NASA does a lot more than just rockets many of them things a private company would never do because they aren’t profitable

@TheSpacePlumber Space X would do it better and for less money. NASA should outsource the rockets to them

@bigBP22 NASA is not in competition with any private space company it is necessary to do all the missions and research that no private company ever would. Basically no private space company could survive without NASA

@TheSpacePlumber Unfortunately, they won't be able to compete long term with SpaceX. We need to concentrate more on space 100% agree. More money won't solve DC's bureaucracy though. Slow and convoluted. Stick to a strong partnership with SpaceX.

@TheSpacePlumber No. NASA needs to not waste money on SLS when SpaceX can do the same job for less

@CaseySandnas @NASA NASA has over 100 active missions/projects it’s not their fault you’re not paying attention to them. Many of which no private company world ever invest in hence the need for NASA

No! Absolutely not! @NASA (the intelligence agency) Has had decades to do something that the public cared about they did NOTHING but waste money and spread propaganda about what they dream to do. Meanwhile the private space exploration companies are WAY ahead of NASA. Screw @NASA . Shut it down permanently!
