It’s not one or the other with spaceflight and curing diseases
It is in 2025 onwards. The country is $39T in debt, tens of billions got funneled to SpaceX on a failed Mars project, and in the same year, $35B gets cut from NIH.
Lucky for Trump, you guys have you heads so far up your asses looking at rockets and shiny things, no one will notice.
Science from space has been used plenty of times to help advance medicine though, along with plenty of other areas. And the thing about it is, you never know what you’re going to discover until you actually discover it.
NASA budget is 3% of the US military budget, maybe focus complaints where it’s actually warranted.
We already know how to build houses or grow food, yet we still have a housing crisis and famines around the world.
What good will these potential cures bring? We already have cures for many many diseases, why are those diseases still existing?
Any potential cures from this will ultimately be owned by the same corpos that own current cures/tech. And it will be sold back to the people for hundred of thousands of dollers in order to justify their huge “R&D” costs.
Because they need to sell this porkbarrel to the public.
Read the comments…we would rather send a few people to a dead rock than cure diseases.
This is a shit take. It’s not one or the other with spaceflight and curing diseases.

All diseases research is 0% of the US military budget.

You should spread this message in hospitals. Lemmy, impossible to under estimate.
