        I really dont understand why people like him dont participate. I think we need more scientists in politics.

        scientists make bad politicians because they work with facts not bullshit. Logic is useless in politics.

        NASA funding fell off and we got Space X, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Boeing, etc. Private companies over government waste.

        Those companies didn't figure out how to get into low Earth orbit. Governments did...in the 1960s.

        @neiltysa Nasa didn't figure out gravity without the private work of a citizen...in 167. The '60s were ~60 years ago.

        I agree, you don't think people in private sector will put up funding for it ? People like Gates, musk, etc

        It's because if they fund science, people will think more. They don't want that.

        Also, they have to "believe" in science...whatever the heck that means.
