Why do I do this?

There's a logical train here, that I think you're attempting to work around.

1. Nasa is a jobs program 2. A jobs program that produces good tech? 3. Yeah, but what did SLS produce? 4. You know that SLS is not NASA (is what I should have said). But I actually said was close enough.

3 makes zero sense unless the poster believes NASA ~= SLS.

I find it fun that we're saying the same thing (NASA != SLS), yet here we are arguing.

Given that this was all different people, I'm not sure why you chose to interpret #3 as not knowing that NASA != SLS. As I said, critics focus on SLS. I could easily have made statement 3, and I work at an org with plenty of NASA funding for non-jobs-program projects.

And if I were to go out on a limb, I suspect if you asked person 1 what they were mad about, it's probably the human spaceflight program, not science.

My favorite part is when the poster jumped on your case for defending him from me, a person you agree with. This is too much.
