I guess we look at it differently. I see NASA as a bloated government program with constant budgetary issues that politicians use as a tool to get money from federal budget to their state. I know NASA current budget isn’t a large percentage, but I don’t see how throwing more money at it will fix the institution as a whole. I just lean more towards private enterprise over government agencies in general.
I know what you see is quite correct (and commercial is the way it was intended to go) but what has happened is that by doing it this way, now, it has cut the knees out from under the entire U.S. space program — national and commercial.
You just don’t recognize the cracks yet.
