this whole situation reminds me of all the naysayers Musk proved wrong twice already. Electric cars will never happen. A private space company, Musk is insane.

1) No one ever said "electric cars will never happen". There were electric and hybrid vehicles before Tesla even existed. 2) SpaceX is no more a "private space company" than the United Space Alliance/United Launch Alliance that builds rockets for NASA and others. Or both are. Both SpaceX and USA/ULA operate under similar models: clients both government and private pay them to build rockets. I do not understand why people think NASA builds rockets. They don't.
