Apparently that wasn’t a problem for SpaceX. The problem with NASA is its corporate culture and political micro-management not lack of engineering skills.

- Animats 6y agoSpace-X had to start over from the beginning. They built a small booster, and then a bigger booster, and then a better version of the bigger booster, then an even bigger booster and a spacecraft. Took 18 years. That's longer than it took NASA in the 1950s and 1960s. NASA is trying to do a giant booster without anybody who built a booster recently.
