> Compare NASA to SpaceX. I guess you haven't been paying attention to SpaceX. With the exception of commodity things like their microchips, they've built all of their tech from scratch. They can deliver payloads somewhere between 33% and 66% cheaper than anyone else. Their safety record is really, really good. They're doing things with their launch vehicles that noone else is. SpaceX is the best goddamn thing to happen to spaceflight since the Cold War Space Race.
