I guess I could say that SpaceX has more of the “Right Stuff” than NASA does, now.
I’m discouraged about NASA, but it does strengthen my belief in the free market.
I have always been a huge fan of the Wright Brothers and what they accomplished with their own time and money, steadfastly refusing to accept money from any source that might be able to exercise control over them.
It isn’t an exact analogy to SpaceX, but...SpaceX changed my mind. I thought that only NASA could do what it was doing. Boy, was I wrong, and a good thing, too.
