“Around 83% of NASA's facilities are beyond their design lifetimes, and the agency has $3.3B maintenance backlog. NASA's $250M estimate for normal yr-to-yr maintenance would take a $600M uptick in NASA's annual budget for infrastructure repairs to catch up on the backlog within the next 10 years.”

Eminent officials say NASA facilities some of the “worst” they’ve ever seen

Buildings at Johnson Space Center in Houston are among the worst at any NASA facility.

We intentionally statve NASA so we can make ~entrepreneurs~ like Musk rich doing the same things less efficiently, less safely, to lower standards, at higher costs, and for drastically frivolous reasons.

Years of budget cuts have crippled NASA and were at serious risk of losing our public space agency to degenerate billionaires and their private industry.
