How do you recon Spacex has managed to recruit several thousand US citizens with the proper expertise? These people don’t grow on trees(/classrooms).

  Surprisingly NASA, or ULA, couldn't recruit those very same citizens.

    I think you’re missing the point. NASA and ULA like programs trained and built expert training to create those citizens. Being able to recruit them is a non-goal.

      The missing is all yours :) . The citizens aren't the goal, the space achievements are. And that's where NASA and ULA were left in the past.

        The only goal of any democratically elected government program is: improved citizens. It is in the definition: “for the people”.
