Does the president really think the Hoover Dam and moon program were great achievements? Hoover Dam: Couldn’t get built today due to folks of the ilk in the current administration; can’t even approve a pipeline for transporting ethical oil to be built by private folks. Moonshot: Government takeover of space kept us in low earth orbits for the next 40 years with a wasteful, over promised and dangerous shuttle; one might suspect that most in his administration believe the funds could have been better spent by distribution to potential constituents besides folks in the industry in Florida, Alabama and Texas; he rightly has government facilitating private space activities but not doing projects itself.
