Aside from the “moon landing was a hoax”, I’ve seen democrats express similar sentiments about NASA. At least until I point out that a lot of our modern technology is based on stuff either developed directly by NASA or for NASA by a government contractor. That and the fact that NASA is one of the most, if not the most, profitable US agencies. Like, iirc NASA provides a 6x return for every dollar spent on them. As such, I find it really strange that the US is determined to keep NASA’s funding at a minimum when we could be using them to generate a lot of money for the economy.
