When the Chinese land first on the Moon it will be just fine, and a good lesson for Isaacman, a tech bro who now leads a public administration. The reason we will lose this race is NASA bought into the wild SpaceX promises and has wasted untold billions and a decade shoveling money into an poorly conceived really big spaceship white elephant. Perhaps this will inform his decision making on public vs corporate spending going forward, but one doubts it.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online To be fair though, a lot of the commercialization decisions pre-dated Isaacman. I think the hope back then was to try to kick start space economy even though NASA was dangling the money.
