Is NASA and ESA the actually the Government?

I don’t think it’s extremley political, but the wall is a little edgy. :P
@tsampoy

@Awsomur But Yeah, the feds are busy right now, with the wall and stuffs :|

@Awsomur Wait, is this getting too political?

Government isn’t as rich as you’d think. The US is trillions in debt, so less money goes to NASA than SpaceX has available. The feds also have to use funds to stop opioid crisis, engage in warfare, maintain infrastructure, build walls, etc. SpaceX literally has one goal: Mars. So because of that, it can achieve liftoff a lot quicker than NASA, but maybe to less results (we shall see).

@SupremeDorian ripperoni.

NASA gets like 0.5% of the USA's yearly budget..

@Bmcclory @5thHorseman So it’s the funds.
Not enough funds,

@Bmcclory @5thHorseman Ahh ok!

Because private companies get to pick where their money goes, and governments spend most of their money arguing about where the rest of the money goes.

And not too many of them argue to send it into space.
