Sorry to break this to you, but without the Government involvement, there would be no space industry.
Henry Ford didn’t say, lets go to the Moon. Like it or not, space exploration was created by and exists because of government involvement. You believe otherwise, you are either incredibly ill informed, or willfully ignorant.
This private company is building a Rocket and System FOR NASA! NASA hired them to do this role, they didn’t get a contract or $$ out of the blue, they were HIRED BY NASA to do this... so, they have to meet NASA’s expectations.
This wasn’t some private company who just said, hey, I feel like building a rocket today and see if I can find customers.... they were explicitely hired by NASA to do this task.
At the end of the day, I am sure they will be successful, but that doesn’t mean they won’t have problems or failures along the way... They will do it, and in the end it will be less expensive most likely, but its not like this is some company who just randomly built a rocket and now needs to quiet NASA to launch it, they were hired by NASA to do this. NASA (government) is paying this private company to do this.
So, please, stop with the silliness.
Those who argue the market is the solution to all evils, are no less fools that those who argue government is the solution to all evils.
The above explains why PROFIT driven companies haven't been exploiting space. They can't. Haven't been able to without GOVERNMENT approval since 1967.
Sorry, but man has always dreamed of going beyond the horizon. Le Voyage Dans La Luyne was a 1902 B/w film about doing just that.
Henry Ford thought we'd all be flying private commuter planes everywhere by now. How'd that work out? FAA got in the way didn't it.
Now... Exactly WHERE in the Constitution does it give the FedGov the power to run an agency like NASA.
Take your time, we'll wait. It should be easy for you since you think you are so much smarter than us "silly" "fools".
