Re:NASA will pay $146M for each SLS rocket engine by the_pwner224 on Sunday May 03, 2020 @09:16AM (#23058802)
We can spend all the taxpayer money on creating 17k highly skilled jobs that actually do something.

NASA does some useful stuff, but we could be doing much more useful stuff with the same money, while still having 17k+ jobs and good military technology and weather satellites etc.

Can we though? Or have we demonstrated over time that any suitably large program sustained over a suitably long time will innevitably need to account for the enormous incentive there is to exploit that funding. What do you propoes to do? Ask the defence companies if they would stop exploiting the government contracts that only exist because of their lobbying in the first place?
