My space nerd friend group is one of the best places for me to watch progressives get red-pilled. SpaceX is launching Falcon 9’s regularly and testing Starship, the other private companies are doing their test launches, and meanwhile their government funded boondoggle programs can barely make a move while taxpayers are fleeced by the big sclerotic government aerospace contractors riddled with scope creep. On a long enough timeline they’ll all see how bad it gets. Another area where proof of work always wins.
