>>12573395>it was the corrupt and inefficient bureaucracy of these nations that was actually holding us back.i think what people has problems understanding is that for you need that goverment is much better for cutting edge research programs, but once its done its shit for mass implementation.
As a matter of fact, it was a clear demonstration that communism was superior, the only way america had to compete was to act as communistical as humanely possible. ARguibly the us state had more control on each person working on the apollo progam than soviet russia ever did.
People say, hurrr durr they went to the moon, go again.
nigga its two differen things, if you want to do the first moon landing ever without having ever done anything like it before its gonna be a huge R&D investment with small guarantees of success.
basically for that scenario you need a blank check
its like this.
imagine someone comes and says, hey how much money would it take for you to become a master violinist by the end of the year.
The answer is that you just dont know, but surely if they just want for a fixed per month number thats based on a specific result like any private company would do that would fail. Like, you cant tell them 100.000 per concert or 500.00 it just doesnt make sense.
Its more like, give me a blank check and no pressure, so i can spend all of my waking hours with the best violin teachers in the world and have 0 other stress, and maybe MAYBE ill be able to pull it off, but hey theres also a chance it will take me 2 years or maybe ill never achieve it, you literally have to trust me
and thats just it, retardedl ybig endeavours dont work good with a private company logic because you cant fail at any step of the way.
What the goverment does is closer to parenting.
