And making bad arguments while doing it.

>Reminder, DoD still owns GPS, is half of SpaceX’s launch demand (which helps pays for the other half); SpaceX would go under without DoD demand), and NASA utilizes DoD’s TDRSS (communication). Among other things.
Ok, you're right. You brought up the DoD at all, and several unrelated projects, none of which had anything to do with his comment on a single project of a single branch of the armed forces that falls under the DoD. I'm still right, you changed the scope of his comment which isn't how this works.
>Furthermore as much or as little as Europe allocates to defense, the same is true for ESA, when compared to NASA.
You brought up the entire EUROPEAN defense budget, which is even more off-base. Forgive my confusion. In completely missing his point, you created a whole marsh of "wtf is he going on about" that let details overlap in my head. Sucks to suck, I guess.
Real cute trying to imply I'm a sock puppet account, though. Bonus points for pulling an easily disproved deflection out of your ass.

Yet they are happy to allocate 800+ billion towards the military.

There's also the scientists moon that searches the fear people. They had enough blocks to build the base. We should've seen this tomorrow but when the moon fear comes we saw it.

And if everyone is making fun of a non-native english speaker in the process of learning, that will feel pretty bad.

"People what happened on the moon" was my takeaway.

That's a completely different part of NASA. This is planetary science. Which is made up of uncrewed interplanetary spacecraft missions. Examples being: Cassini, Juno, New Horizons, Curiosity, Perseverance, DART, Lucy, Neowise, Osiris-Rex, etc. In general these missions have been considered to be extremely cost effective and well run.

Think of the size of it. The size of the space ship just one comparison to Earth? Because they can’t search all of it it’s so vast.

Maybe "blocks" on earth is a Minecraft reference?
That's most sense I can make of it.

And SpaceX also self-funded the development of Starlink, which has been vital to Ukraine's war effort and would be similarly vital to the U.S. and Taiwan in the event of a war with China.
And they're still losing money on it, clearly more money then they get from DOD launches.
The DOD is paying for the development of ULA's Vulcan rocket and engine, which they also did for ULA's previous rockets... Nobody paid SpaceX anything to develop Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, or Starship.
Furthermore, every gov't contract SpaceX has won, has been competitively bidded with them the low bidder, and fixed price.
Seems like the government is getting a pretty good deal. But I'd be fascinated to hear arguments against.
