How should NASA proceed from here...Trump in his tweet was sure to mention them...is there a catch to it being a SpaceX thing?

There is still a place for NASA. It's not muslem outreach, it's to keep our military the best in the world. That is the governments function, right. What would you expect Trump to do?

That's right...in fact the payload car and starman look fake....that's because in space there is such clarity..
Imagine this car with Starman in orbit

On the dashboard is a small replica of the car and Starman that ‘Hotwheels” made......so they decided to put it on the dash....

Ugh please don’t remind me about prior admins.
So is there any big SPACE (not necessarily military) project or goal set for NASA? It just seems to me other countries are ahead or on par with their stuff at this point.
*sigh*
To: JoSixChip
Sme mind blowing scientific progress in these times....Even if you could care less about space and rockets — it’s difficult to understate what an enormous achievement this is!

If you’re sighing then you’re out of touch entirely.....
This is a massive milestone. It could change everything going forward. What an incredible moment!!!

They had intended to send the car in a heliocentric orbit out to the distance of Mars, but the booster had more thrust than they expected so the car’s orbit will take it past Mars and out to the asteroid belt. Wheee!
