      Technology absolutely has reduced CO2 emissions on a per capita basis when applied. That is a categorically and demonstratively false statement in several different ways. Electric vehicles were only made viable using 1970s NASA battery technology developments. They are significantly more carbon efficient than internal combination engines over their lifetime accounting for production and raw materials.

      That’s not to mention the solar technologies developed by NASA to power the things.

      The level of ignorance required to come to your conclusions is only surpassed by the required level of arrogance to not bother looking it up.

          Why is it that in your world NASA and the military are in no way linked? I’ve worked in defense procurement. Literally every time you mention defense procurement the core technologies were developed through NASA contracts and proof of concepts.

          The reason I’m not sending you proof is because you aren’t worth the time. These things are a matter of public record. You are so far off base that there is literally nothing I can send you that will pull your head out of the sand.

              I literally don’t believe that you ever were involved in any level of requirements analysis or weapons programs.
