They see it as a waste of money that could be used to pay for free shit. That is why.

Because they would rather that money be spent on gibs and reparations.

Remember when funding NASA was heavily criticised because the money would be better spent on feeding the starving?

Now, thanks largely to NASA, everyone in the world has a GPS in their pocket. Who knows how many lives this has saved and how convenient it's made day-to-day life for the average Joe.

GPS is probably the best thing to come of NASA, I hope to see more progress in space exploration in my lifetime.

Because "that money could be put to better use" yadda yadda yadda.. At least that was why they opposed Apollo, IIRC.

They know that space travel will invalidate the dangers of their climate change fear mongering so they have to do everything they can to discredit it.
