Efficient enough and I'd think so.

well, the iteration was done with MANY aerospace companies going bankrupt and each moving the ball forward inch by inch

Also, for on lookers, profitability isn't just capital in the form of direct RoI.

this is true especially for the Normies who will tip the balance

personally though, i think much of the new focus comes from 'peer pressure' felt by countries like China and India

the US doesn't want to fall behind

Which is why my argument of why being "hope" is valid in my estimate.

oh no doubt, i agree with you there

We shouldn't have rested on our laurels for so long.

it's just that such 'hope' is usually more abundant with those that haven't heard Bush Senior, Clinton, GWB and Obama make the same empty promises

Again, hate to pull it.. but I don't recall them doing so.

lol. of course you don't.

you hadn't been hatched yet

Recall, I'm in my early 30s.

I was paying attention in Obama, GWB and the end of Clinton's time.

So you seriously don;t remember?

Its almost like you should take a career politician's word with a grain of salt.

As said, I don't remember the latter two aiming at moonshot.

Brb. will get video

I just saw a hard-left friend of mine say "Twitter is run by actual fascists" and my almonds are on fucking fire

Admission: '89 counts as prior to my awareness.

I mean we did have a mission to mars tho.

probably no thanks to Obama

Okay, catching Bush the 2nd, he actually met the longer goal.. which was ISS.

I may be wrong about Clinton. I can personally remember hearing speeches from all the others but Clinton

Yeah, I recall the Bush one.. and after seeing the thumbnail for Obama I do recall that.

Also, watching the Bush II one...

Fucking Obama broke the plan.

I'm even *more* angry at Obama, now.

Also, even if my account isn't entirely factually accurate, others are sure to have the same disappointment. The fact that we haven't really made many strides forward since those Moon landings in 30+ yrs kinds gives everyone a bad taste in their mouth
