@pyrate @CoQ_10 @WashedOutGundamPilot @Hoss I can't find any reference too it I'll have to dig it up later but I remember there being a competition Nasa held to design analog machines not too long ago and they did a smart way about it by reaching out to niche communities of people who do that as a hobby, I think one of the bigger prizes was 100k
I cant remember if I saw it a year ago or 3

@CoQ_10 @WashedOutGundamPilot @pyrate @Hoss Nasa then was so fucking beastmode you love to see it, engineering such magnificent machines

@CoQ_10 @WashedOutGundamPilot @pyrate @Hoss Probably, a shame to say
The old nasa was a meritocracy that got shit done, the new one I cant help but sigh at.
Like they've dumped billions of dollars and 20 years into SLS with almost nothing to show for it? And perpetual delays on launches
Seems all the greatly skilled people go work for the NRO now or are low strung in nasas modern bureaucratic ways

@Hoss @pyrate @CoQ_10 @WashedOutGundamPilot I think even with all the flaws modern nasa has, I still think they do great work. If increasing the budget wasnt an option then I'd rather it remain stagnant for a while and do some restructuring or kicking out the agency's head whos a career politician and dismantling the old guard who gatekeep and induce nepotism in the agency.
Then also preventing dumb ideas like continuing SLS which at this point is still there because of sunk cost.
If I could have nasa do one thing it would be to focus more resources on going back to Venus and continuing where the Venera mission left off and the thought of it gives me goosebumps because it would be so cool. Thankfully they've already got something going for that but who knows how long it'll take before something major happens for a Venus mission

@Hoss @pyrate @WashedOutGundamPilot More like WHEN it will explode with SpaceX's track record
