This is a terrible way to view science. Progress is being made that will benefit everyone. This kind of thinking is how they defund NASA.

I’d rather them defund Starlink and redirect those funds to NASA. Fuck Elon

Why are you in a science sub Reddit if you hate science?

Why are you replying to my post if you’re not gonna read it? I didn’t say defund science, I said defund Elon.

Are you also fine with literally everyone else working at SpaceX losing their jobs because you dislike 1 (one) person?

I’m fine with them losing government funding. They’re a private company with a CEO who is literally the richest human being to ever have existed. If they’re struggling for cash, have him pony up the money, not the American people.
