>>12681720what? explain the useless shit. Nasa gave us advanced solar cells, Velcro, and LED lighting. The private sector leaches off public research because their too cheap to do it themselves.
>>12688815yes, but SpaceX gets 3.1 billion from Nasa to operate their crew dragon capsule to the ISS. Bigger budget, more opportunities for SpaceX.
>>12688910Nasa is a research and exploration agency. The military is for defense. Research is public and private companies can take advantage of that spending. A lot of military research is classified for many years, not to mention guns vs water processing and solar cell research.
