Sometimes, the government can get things done. They got a man on the moon. But the government also often makes matters worse. There's bureaucracyand red tape, not to mention a substantial number of people involved in every decision. This makes the process expensive, inefficient, and time-intensive.
Bring in big business and private entities, and the scope and reach increases many times over. They can get stuff done quickly. They own a problem and come up with creative solutions. Capitaliststhink outside the box, bringing funding and resources to develop new technologies. Unlike the government, individual companies can make faster progress to the same goals, and beyond. NASA started by investing in several American businesses. They targeted the fields of space transportation and supportive systems. That includes launch vehicles, abort systems, environmental control systems, life support systems, emergency detection devices, and more.
The initial investment money went to companies such as:
Alliant Techsystems, Inc.
Blue Origin
Boeing
Excalibur Almaz, Inc.
Sierra Nevada Corporation
United Launch Alliance
SpaceX
The enormous amount of money put forth to further space endeavors not only created new ways to make progress to the stars. It also spurred economic growth. Approximately 200 people work for the CCP at NASA alone. That doesn't account for the thousands of other employees required to run each program at the different companies involved.
Communism rejects scientific objectivity and hampers humanity’s ability to explore space – empirics prove.
