@Matt5sean3 @chrisisgr8 reasons been the moon landing happened and the Soviet threat of a military platform in orbit ended so they shifted funds to "problems at home".

@Polychrome @chrisisgr8 That always seems like the most foolish justification, though. Not going further has solved no problems at home while going as far as we did solved some problems in the literal home. Ugh, politicians ...

@airshipper@cloudisland.nz @danjac@masto.ai also "how can I make sure I have money and capitalism keeps working" is actually quite exploitative, authoritarian, violent, and fascist... and always has been. It's the contradiction at the heart of anarchocapitalism aka libertarianism: unlimited freedom for the investor and business owner, a lifetime of "voluntary" servitude for whoever isn't lucky enough to be born into the ownership class (and death, if they run afoul of someone else's profitability rights)
