        It's crazy some people are THAT obsessed with the guy they equate him with the entire space industry.

          The space industry is basically filled with ElMos;

          lord-bezos-amused, the space walk billionaire guy that owns a defense company that specializes in airstrikes, virgin galactic virgin-Cola guy.

          You can bring up NASA all you want, it doesn't change the fact that they're (sadly) a minority in an industry that is being overtaken by techbros with no actual scientific education. They just throw money at it and get starving professors and graduates to do the actual work.

            I think the billionaires are the minority considering there is the CNSA, Roscosmos, ESA, and the ISRO
            Focusing purely on NASA is very USAmerica centric

              It's the only argument I hear whenever it's brought up online.

              I agree with government space agencies, I hate the space industry however. Unfortunately the future is going to be the global encroachment of these private companies into the public sector. Similar to what has happened to NASA.

              I really only see China pushing back against this.
