America once put a man on the Moon in less than a decade. Now we can’t even get back there after more than 50 years. The reason is simple and infuriating.
NASA has become a bloated government bureaucracy that cares more about red tape than rockets. While our astronauts achieved the impossible in the 1960s, today’s NASA is drowning in paperwork and political correctness. The same agency that once inspired the world now moves at the speed of molasses.
Just look at the facts. Private companies like SpaceX are launching rockets every few weeks while NASA takes years to plan a single mission. Elon Musk built a space program from scratch faster than NASA can fix a heat shield problem. This is what happens when government takes over something that should be driven by American innovation.
The International Space Station is falling apart and NASA doesn’t even have a solid plan to replace it. Meanwhile, China is building their own space station and planning Moon bases. We’re letting communist dictators beat us in the final frontier because our space agency is too busy following government protocols.
Former NASA nominee Jared Isaacman is absolutely right to call out this disaster. He knows what real leadership looks like because he’s actually been to space. Unlike the desk jockeys running NASA, Isaacman puts his money where his mouth is.
The truth is painful but clear. NASA has the same disease that infects every government program. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. Too much talk, not enough action.
America didn’t become great by accepting mediocrity from our institutions. We became great by demanding results and firing people who can’t deliver. NASA needs to remember that we’re Americans, not Europeans who are satisfied with second place.
It’s time to either fix NASA or get out of their way. Let the private sector show these government bureaucrats how real Americans get things done. Our astronauts deserve better and so does every patriotic American who still believes we should lead the world in space.
