I would argue the bigger handicap is the resource constraint for large projects - from lack of funding as well as lack of resources since the major sources Of taxable income (Amazon, Apple, etc) don’t pay tax.

Resources are a choice. Nobody ever did a cost-benefit assessment for the trillion dollars of Iraq war.

(Arguably the space programme worked as a proxy war with the Soviet Union; America didn't want to let the Russians ""invade"" the moon first.)

Apologies - not sure I understand. But I think I agree that societies choose how to distribute their resources?
