Imagine if we actually tried to improve things without doing stupid space shit for nazi missile nerds ?

What a stupid example of false equivalence. The opposite is true. The Apollo program led to huge technological advances that also led to advances in medicine.

Doing “stupid space stuff” in no way prevents us from improving things. The NASA budget is not even a rounding error in the grand scheme of things. And getting rid of the nazi nerds is an entirely different conversation.

In a way he’s right, the space race was really a dick-measuring contest against the ruskies to demonstrate launch capabilities.
But yeah, we’ve gotten a lot more from NASA than just winning a dick-measuring contest.

We spend on space research that advances our understanding of physics and world about 2% the money we spend on military. Is this really the priority?
