My headcannon is that NASA made a deal with the devil to get us to the moon early and ever since they've been repaying their temporal debt by every project being delayed.

Exactly.

Beware the Space-Industrial-Complex.

Massive corps have been feeding at the trough since Apollo.

Oof. Doesn't look like Starliner will make it to six flights before the ISS is retired, and even three flights is looking increasingly unlikely.

Uh, on a more positive note, happy cake day @llamacoffee@lemmy.world!
