Yeah it did. Slamming SLS at the end.
We barely spend anything on NASA, half a penny of federal descretionary spending. One of the few places we should be spending double!

Sorry, but I am not willing to bet the entire nation’s space future and exploration on SpaceX’s future.

Yes, deservedly.

NASA's problem is not with how much it has to spend, but how much Congress forces it to waste on unnecessary vehicles to maintain jobs.

No one is proposing that you do. You are making the same mistake as those criticized in the article, and ignoring the existence of Boeing, Orbital Sciences, Sierra Nevada, United Launch Alliance, etc. SpaceX has been in the news because it's been doing spectacular things, but it is not the only game in town.
