From an engineer viewpoint, I wasn’t sure he would ever get this to work.
Now I believe NASA is 40 years behind SpaceX and they might as well give their operations to SpaceX

The elites have yet to come to realize the geopolitical implications of SpaceX’s accomplishments. Once Musk has successfully moved SpaceX’s CA operations to TX, TX and FL if they decide to secede together from the Union, will if they wish, control the ultimate high ground, space.

Well nasa doesnt really build anything. Its all contracted out. This process is inherently longer than Spacex building what they need/want.

Nasa is pretty much dead in the water. The model they are working under doesn’t work.

See my comments HERE. SpaceX is a NASA contractor. You can't (intelligently) pit one against the other.

Somehow Musk and SpaceX have assembled a niche engineering team every bit reminiscent of NASA in the 60s, just as competent and even more innovative, but a bit more casually dressed!

Musk and SpaceX have a lot of catching up to do on Muslim outreach.
