The reason Artemis 2 must wait two more years — following the apparent success of the Artemis 1 moon mission — tells you all you need to know about NASA. And it’s embarrassing.

When the NASA budget is less in real dollars in 2021 than it was in 1989, and half of the percentage of the federal budget over the same time period, what do you expect? It’s not a priority of our federal gov’t any more so this is the result.
Much as it breaks my heart to say it, NASA is dead to me. Infested top to bottom with life long bureaucrats. Like the medical industry, the actual talent is pushed to the side, overwhelmed and out voted by people that can’t pass a third grade reading test.
I heard a talk by an astronaut neighbor of mine last year. His resume’ was jaw-dropping. He had photos and reminiscences of a spacewalk he took to adjust a wobbling satellite. I believe it was in the 1980s. He and his crew accomplished the task and the whole thing sounded like science fiction, the most astounding was thinking they could fix the problem in the first place. His son is now a Top Gun instructor.
I believe that the current NASA is probably filled with these Superman pilots and brilliant engineers. Yet it manages to “put a governor” on their talents, bravery, and creativity.
The idea of yanking these people into a private sector enterprise that competes with other private entities and abandons government – where dreams go to die – is dead-on.
