Can someone explain to me how NASA's capabilities got so degraded that their options are now "fascist crackpot nutbar" and "military/aerospace assclowns who seem to be whacking whistleblowers and can't build anything for shit"?

@camerondotca @carturo222 Military/aerospace assclowns became such grifters that the fascist was vastly undercutting them on cost.

And old NASA *always* used military/aerospace assclowns to build their stuff, and still do (which is why the Space Launch System is so mind-bogglingly expensive).
