the $pace Industrial Complex - not mentioned?
Perhaps it was overlooked because it's so; Duh? Perhaps it's just coincidence that "StarDate" and other "planetary" radio shows-ads encourage the public to give the private corporate $pace Industrial Complex billions and trillions of our tax dollars? One show explicitly states they are doing space evangelism. Perhaps it's just coincidence that no other technology industry makes info-tainment ads? Really?

While it is true that some of this interest is natural or "real," that demand is not so overwhelming as to spawn all these shows and other propaganda. For example, NPR has minute-ads several times every weekday plus a long infotainment on weekends, complete with  "rubber meteor" and telescope-time prizes.

Simple economic theory shouts that I am understating the situation.

The article needs to include space industry PR and propaganda along with government PR and propaganda. I did not see in the article that the object of the PR/propaganda is public funding. NASA explicitly stated the only reason John Glenn got his tiny expensive capsule window was to get more public tax money (in PR terms: public support).

I believe this omission (or devaluation) makes the article as a whole; a failure.  --2602:306:CFCE:1EE0:FDCE:F821:EC41:ECA0 (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2019 (UTC)JustSayin'

poorly written
This article is not up to standards, it reads like a fourth-grader's book report. 2600:6C40:600:4513:B029:5821:591C:4D7E (talk) 03:01, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

unsourced claim
No source is provided for the claim that both the United States and USSR used propaganda posters during the 20th century space race 2600:1012:B119:9350:AA2F:6284:3D3C:C294 (talk) 21:40, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
