The impression I got from the debate was that he would gut the space program even more.

As a space worker, I’m thrilled that he’s enthusiastic about space. But I don’t agree with his plan to disband the NASA structure and give it all to private companies. It’s fine to give some work to the private companies (as those companies are now developing craft to space station), but NASA has a purpose to ensure safety of the vehicles going to space station. Also NASA is running the space station now. I’m assuming he wouldn’t change the current structure to give management of space station to a private company. The overhead would be too great.
