On building a NASA Cooperative
Looking at how NASA was built on the technology of Nazi scientist Werner von Braun, it’s come to my attention that I feel NASA should be dismantled. Now this doesn’t mean abolishing it completely. Rather, I would prefer to see NASA reconstituted as a Libertarian Communist cooperative. In my mind, what this looks like is that a cooperative NASA would be used to serve the masses in terms of astronomy, developing medicines in space stations such as the International Space Station and monitoring weather patterns.
Another aspect of NASA that would have to go is technology that was used by Nazi technology in World War II. It is hereby that I argue a cooperative NASA should not have any hallmarks of von Braun’s legacy. This is especially as there is blood stained on the technology in question (i.e. rocketships). So what should move in and replace the Nazi technology? That I shall answer below.
I believe that Soviet technology of rocketry should replace the Nazified ones. Using Soviet rocketships and satellites would be more or less intimidating and removes the negative connotations of Nazi influence over a reconstituted NASA. Ergo, no more racist, colonialistic baggage.
Now another question arises as to how this is to come about? This point I don’t really have much in the form of an answer. All that comes to my mind at the moment is to have scientists, technicians, and engineers who are sympathetic to Libertarian Communism in order to realize this. In other words, they would have to be ready and willing to takeover NASA and begin a revolt or rumble. However, that would be mostly difficult given how NASA is technically a military unit, and many have Robert Heinlein’s centre-right influence.
Other problems that may arise is if this is another form of colonialism since the NASA cooperative is built on stolen land, and raises the question if we are simply continuing colonialism through technology? I haven’t the slightest answer for this objection. As such, I leave this one open for others to come up with their own solutions to this problem.
Anyhow, I just wanted to get this out there. So, to anyone reading this, you on board with this idea or are there some other problems to consider? Peace.
