“What’s NASA? Are they some subsidiary of Space-X?”
NASA is that organization that funnels billions of uncompleted taxpayer dollars to space-x
Yes, that’s true.
They do some other credible stuff, but man how frustrating it has been over the years.
Imagine us getting to the place where the shuttle was unable to fly any longer, and no replacement on the drawing board.
To be truthful, the private sector is the way to go, but is Space-X truly headed in that direction. I at least have some hope. There are other groups out there too, and in the end I’d like to think we’d wind up with a robust private sector handling space access.
I suspect Lockheed has something out there we don’t know about that can access space right now also. It’s the cargo end of it that is lagging > IMO.

How so? SpaceX has delivered tremendous savings to the taxpayer compared to older launchers like ULA and even cheap launchers like the Russians.
