it’s disingenuous to blame NASA, as if we couldn’t afford both!
the point here is that the money that the government spends is 100% wasted on these things, not that we should find ways to pay for more stuff. I don’t support government spending at all. when I talk about environmentalism I’m talking about the government whipping people into a frenzy in order to justify ridiculous schemes that private enterprise would never support. If there was less taxation and people were rational about picking charities to reduce overall suffering micronutrient and clean water programs would get huge boosts. They get practically nil right now because they aren’t glamorous, and the government takes a large percentage of money that people would otherwise be generous with.
