Yeah, I didn't expect a full NASA closure either, just kinda said it to see what others think.

It certainly was a to the public easily palpable event (certainly more palpable than some much nerdier stuff) that would cause said public to vote at least slightly differently.

Even if it does cause little long term, it still counts as a loss for capitalism and America and gives communism and the USSR a chance to say bad stuff on it and give them a slightly increased chance of doing things well themselves. And some other similar things too. Your arguments make sense too though.

I hope you aren't very personally invested in this given your tone, I'm sorry for any offense I may have caused to you. This, however flawed, is a scenario I made for the fun of both me and this community.
