You literally don't even understand what you are arguing for or why -_-
Nobody is trying to pretend they didn't contract out work.
NASA has been underfunded for a very long time, and we have been trained by capitalists to think it's useless and always was.
NASA used to conduct missions, too, not just private companies. And instead of giving them even a billion dollars a year, we are throwing the most successful space organization in human history after giving HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS, to a private corporation that is now going to replace the public one.
Humanity is not going to have a good time in space if private industry is allowed to control its access.
