He lamented the U.S. government's withdrawal from space exploration as the space-shuttle program winds down

That's probably the only sensible thing this gov't. has done. He's upset that his company won't as easily get the plum space contracts. He'll have to compete with smaller, less-expensive firms.

Bull.

Commercial start-ups are people like Elon Musk who is a heavy campaign contributor and fundraiser for Obama and democrats. It’s crony-capitalism and the U.S. is going to left grounded while foreign countries move out and control that arena.

But then again that’s just what the Science and Technology Adviser for Obama wants.

Those ready to attack legacy companies that have worked for NASA are just the new guys on the block who want their turn at the trough.
