@signaleleven@social.tchncs.de But the problem is, it's the same people. SS-Sturmbannführer Wernher von Braun used slave labor to make the V2 that bombed England for Hitler, & Gemini & Apollo for NASA.
50 years later, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop-Grumman make Artemis, & planes & missiles we're mass-murdering Iranians with.
Exact same people. Same administration.
I love our space program, even as slow & expensive as it's been. I loathe all the manufacturers because they're all babykillers.
Life's hard.

@mdhughes@appdot.net they are the same companies, not the same people. And even if they were the same people, they are different things. My point is that if we check every outcome for complete ideological purity (and I understand that mass murder is a big thing to ignore) we end up blind to the good. Life's hard, yes. And the world is a shitty place. Repeating it next to the work of someone who tries to keep a piece of it shit-free is not "being aware" but being self-righteous.
