The #American #brainwash cradle to grave is that they have a "limited #government of enumerated powers" under their #constitution.

Given that, it's doubtful that it was even #legal to create #NASA under the "general welfare" clause of that already dubious document, by splitting civilian aeronautics research from the military.

Its creation shows well that their "checks and balances" system doesn't actually work, when interests of large MI Complex cronies are involved.

As we see in #SpaceX, civilians are perfectly capable of creating civilian space programs, even better than bureaucrats.

So, it was just the cancerous growth of American bureaucracy that created NASA, and it should be completely defUnded by #DOGE.
