False. NASA has never, until Space-X, set specs and let the company design whatever they wanted to meet those specs. NASA has screwed the pooch for 30 years, and are finally getting it together.

Rather than be angry and bitter that times have changed, perhaps you should rejoice that America is moving forward again on space.

As I said earlier. NASA wasted billions on ARES that will never fly, and Space-X will put Americans back into space again in a couple of years. It's hard to argue with success.

Dream on. Obama’s vision is a disaster just like everything else he has touched. His buddies like Musk will profit and the country will be the big loser. So in the years ahead, the US will be paying the Russians to ferry our astronauts to the space station. If delivering 1,000 LBs to the space station is your idea of success, then you are delusional.
