          the descendants of those nazis truly believe in the PR and they’ve doubled down; the woman whose computer i had to fix had prop 8 signs and a crucifix on her desk.

          i decided to quit because i realized that the software i was supposed to be troubleshooting was intended to make missiles more aerodynamic and nothing to do with space.

            I don’t doubt you saw something that scared you, but rockets and missiles are literally the same thing barring payload and trajectory and nobody is using bespoke software to puzzle out aerodynamics in 20xx, that’s table at the back of the college textbook stuff these days.

            NASA didn’t even exist until after ICBMs were invented in both the US and the Soviet Union, so idk what y’all are on about. NASA used old ICBM tech to make rockets that weren’t for military use. Atlas, an ICBM, is what launched the first US astronauts to space during the Mercury program.

            Also Von Braun was a Nazi

      Yeah! What usefull things NASA has done for human kind?!

      Other than: Memory foam, Portable cordless vacuum, Freeze-dried food, CMOS image sensors, Light-induced oxidation air scrubbers, Weight-resistance exercise equipment, Water purification systems, Firefighting protective gear, Highway safety grooves, Image stabilization technology, Anti-icing aircraft systems, Scratch-resistant lenses, Infrared ear thermometers, Insulation materials (radiant barrier foil), Aerogel insulation products, Programmable heart pacers (derived control tech), LASIK eye-surgery mapping technology, Advanced prosthetics components, Shock-absorbing athletic shoe materials, Improved tire rubber compounds, Portable blood analyzers, Satellite-based weather data applications, Crop monitoring algorithms, Oil spill mapping technologies, Baby formula nutrient fortification (DHA/ARA research contributions)

      • They also developed the technology that will cause nuclear hellfire when the US empire decides to start using it.

        All that technology could have been developed by a peaceful entity but instead was used as PR to whitewash the atrocity of nuclear weapons development.

          You know NASA was founded over a decade after Manhattan project right.

          And that first ICBM came from the soviets, not from the USA. Also before NASA was founded.

            So what? JPL literally designs the rockets the US uses to create and maintain its nuclear arsenal. These aren’t refutations of the fact NASA is primarily a weapons research org in conjunction with the US DOD (Now DOW) and DARPA. Sorry to break it to you but Yanks are an evil, violent, malevolent culture that only cares about weapons and killing people.

              Now now mr conspiracy theorists. We are not talking about yanks and their culture. We are talking about NASA.

              The one agency in USA that is sience based, does most collaborations with other science based organisations and has done great scientific breaktroughs that has helped allmost every human on this planet and they have shared those findings

              Think for a moment. If NASA was an integral part of american military development and filled with evil geniouses that want to subjucate rest of the world, why they are the agency that struggles the most to keep their funding and has been for years under the knive.

              • Now now Mr naive liberal who doesn’t understand how the world works

                It isn’t a conspiracy theory to know that NASA designs the ICBMs and is deeply ingrained in the military industrial complex. Dude the agency was literally founded by Werner Von Braun the Nazi scientist who invented the V2 rockets. You just have a childs understanding of how the US military industrial complex works and believe the PR. In case you don’t know Public Relations is the American term for Propaganda. Look it up, both of those terms were coined by a psychologist named Bernays.

                why they are the agency that struggles the most to keep their funding and has been for years under the knive.

                Because they are now being privatized like everything else in the US, including utilities and infrastructure.

                  And mr. Nobel invented dynamite. Should i shun Nelson Mandela because he won the price named after somebody whose invention has brought death in large scale?

                  Science wont kill, the application does. Yelling about NASA being military monster institution is directing your energy to the wrong place. Be angry towards pentagon or to american goverment. Dont be try to bunch NASA in to the same group, just because you feel bad about the world. Their work has brought betterment for humanity and yelling how they are just nazies trying to end the world just eats their credibility.

                  Also i want to point out, that the naive person, who does not understand how the world works, here are you. Trying to neatly box huge institution with over 18 000 people working in, into one neat package, when in the real world you know everything is not black and white and sometimes people need to do things they dont necessary agree with, so later they can keep working on things they want to.

                  Also i dont consider myself as a liberal. Im from country with working democracy, and where politics are more intrique than blue versus red.

                  • A true Finn, Fascist sympathizer and collaborator to the end. I am not using liberal in the American sense, I am using it in the Marxist sense.

                    NASA is literally part of American government and works closely with the Pentagon and integrated within it for their operations. What the fuck are you talking about. The American government are fascists and they brought in the Nazis into their government after the war to bring them to where they are now. You know, those same Nazis your family worked with.

                    Mandela was a great man not because he won a Nobel prize but because of what he did. The Nobel prize commission should be ended immediately after awarding people like the fascist María Corina Machado. Nobel himself should be shunned for recklessly selling his technology for war. Again you fall hook line and sinker for PR, the Nobel prize was created to rehab his image after they published his obituary early and he was described as one of the worst people to ever live. He himself was an incel loser. Just like I judge Mandela from his action, I judge NASA by its actions, You can’t remove the actual effects of what an org like NASA did with 18000 people, they strengthened the US military industrial complex to oppress and destroy where I come from and attack where I live. They used the civilian science to whitewash their image and make it palatable for people like you.

                    Take your paternalist white supremacist bullshit about your “functional democracy” and shove it, Euro trash. Talk to my block list fash.

                NASA is science and space exploration. There is some involvement with military, but a lot of that is launch stuff, not weapons design nor DoD rockets.
