It's a clear sign the government isn't, itself, spending enough on spaceflight and associated R&D.

Turning our next generation of economic and military supremacy over to the dipshit horn dogs that tanked retail sales and fucked up the post office seems like a huge mistake.

    With higher progressive taxes, not only do we stop billionaires from possibly existing, but the government gets more resources to spend on spaceflight R&D among other things.

    Governments HAVE the resources. They CHOOSE to not spend it on R&D.

    But taxing the rich would give them even MORE resources

    That they also won't use on R&D. Or healthcare. Or housing. Or feeding people. Those things aren't shit for a lack of resources to fund them, they're shit for a lack of interest in funding them. That's not a problem you can fix with more money.
