Yeah bro, everyone remembers the 1960s when NASA made zero innovations...

That it wasn't their budget being slashed intentionally that space was handed off to captialist corporations...

That it hasn't already started to bite us in the ass where people like Musk are in charge of satellite communication and he hasn't been working with Putin..

For some things, but on the other hand a lot of development was done at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
