Please stop going off topic. It's rude and against T&C.

Got it backwards...this astronaut is praising the GOP and Trump.
True...on a program funded by socialism.
No, on American ingenuity pushed forward by capitalism.
NASA is publicly funded.
Socialism.
The raw materials are privately owned, not government owned
The contractors are private citizens, not government workers
The products are sold at profit, not static
Many of the the manufactured goods can also be sold on the private market
Capitalism
What products come from space that can be sold for a profit that also fund the space program?
Can NASA build anything without private contractors who also do business with non-government entities?
NASA submits bid to private contractors, and the 'lowest' one wins..
