>just use public money
Everybody wants to use public money for their own thing that they personally thing is more important than all of the other things that other people want to use that money for. The process of sorting out and prioritizing these proposals is called "politics". You don't get your money for rovers to every moon in the solar system because you lack political power.

I hope this answers your question.

NASA has specialized in extremely custom and complex machines since it's inception. Their engineering design is based on 2 constraints: mass and volume. Using the JWST as an example, it needed to be about 6 tons to launch on the Ariane 5, plus the lenses needed to be folded to fit in the fairing. With those constraints, it ended up being around half the area and 20x over the original budget, launching 30 years after development began.
Using a rover as an example, Perseverance was machined out of one piece of aluminum. We're talking something the size of a small car, mass optimized down to the microgram.
These constraints have recently changed, but NASA is a slow moving bureaucracy so they're still operating as though the falcon never landed. Once Starship is up and running for a decade and most of NASA and aerospace in general is made up of SpaceX and former SpaceX, they'll shift to general probes with simple heavy designs and cheap stock parts. You could see every body in the solar system visited for the cost of one Mars rover. It's just around the corner.

NASA doesn't want better telescopes and probes farther from earth because the blackpill would hit too hard to confirm aliens don't exist and humanity will never progress past the solar system cause it's impossible.

Mainly budgetary reasons. Also because power is very constrained in the outer solar system. Solar panels would be way too big for a rover to move at Jupiter. It's also harder to control rovers further out due to light lag, but better robot autonomy fixes this.

It's very hard to even land them safely on most of those moons due to them having basically no atmosphere. They are also mostly far too cold to keep a rover running, and get too little sunlight.

>Compared to those that were less free, countries with higher economic freedom ratings during 1980–2005 had lower rates of both extreme and moderate poverty in 2005. More importantly, countries with higher levels of economic freedom in 1980 and larger increases in economic freedom during the 1980s and 1990s achieved larger poverty rate reductions than economies that were less free. These relationships were true even after adjustment for geographic and locational factors and foreign assistance as a share of income. The positive relations between the level and change in economic freedom and reductions in poverty were both statistically significant and robust across alternative specifications.

http://mohrsiebeck.com/en/article/the-relationship-between-economic-freedom-and-poverty-rates-cross-country-evidence-101628jite-2020-0042
>We study the relationship between economic freedom and poverty rates in 151 countries over a twenty-year period. Using the World Bank's poverty headcounts of those living on less than $1.90 per day, $3.20 per day, and $5.50 per day, we find evidence that economic freedom, measured by the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom, is associated with lower poverty rates. We also test the effect of various components of the Index of Economic Freedom. We find that a government's integrity and a country's trade freedom are associated with lower poverty rates. We check the robustness of our results using alternative freedom indices.

>Also prefiguring the man was a trait that Marx developed early in his youth and never relinquished: a shameless sponging on friends and relatives. Already in early 1837, Heinrich Marx, castigating his son Karl's wanton spending of the money of others, wrote to him that "on one point … you have wisely found fit to observe an aristocratic silence; I am referring to the paltry matter of money." Indeed, Marx took money from any source available: his father, mother, and throughout his adult life, his long-suffering friend and abject disciple, Friedrich Engels, all of whom fueled Marx's capacity for spending money like water.

>An insatiable spender of other people's money, Marx continually complained about a shortage of financial means. While sponging on Engels, Marx perpetually complained to his friend that his largess was never enough. Thus, in 1868, Marx insisted that he could not make do on an annual income of less than £400-£500, a phenomenal sum considering that the upper tenth of Englishmen in that period were earning an average income of only £72 a year. Indeed, so profligate was Marx that he quickly ran through an inheritance from a German follower of £824 in 1864, as well as a gift of £350 from Engels in the same year.

>As in the case of many other spongers and cadgers throughout history, Karl Marx affected a hatred and contempt for the very material resource he was so anxious to cadge and use so recklessly. The difference is that Marx created an entire philosophy around his own corrupt attitudes toward money. Man, he thundered, was in the grip of the "fetishism" of money.

Karl Marx was an insatiable parasite and a loser, just like you. No wonder subhuman retards like you idolize him. A classic case of like attracted to like.
