minus-squarerottingleaf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 month agoWhat “they made” 50 years ago is of little value now. Expertise matters, and it’s lost with time passing. Still - yes. Nationalization is a bad solution because it gives the state power to nationalize. Seems a truism. Just let NASA work in its normal role. Instead of replacing that with SpaceX contracts.
