Space funding during “technical recession”
What are everyone’s thoughts about Liberal government actually following through with the pledge to spend billions on defence and space spending when the economy is in the gutter?
I only recently started following MDA and space stocks so still learning about the industry and my conclusions may be way off, but I can’t help but wonder if space exploration and defence are going to still be priorities when unemployment gets worse and food affordability continues to increase.
I remember watching First Man (2018) which highlighted peoples opposition to spending on space exploration while there were a shit ton of social problems. I understand that was during Cold war era, where space achievements between USSR/USA were highly political.
Just curious to hear opinions of how will the space industry do with all the recent recession and unemployment fears.
