I dont find it odd. I havent made it a secret that I think Elon got his start by being buds with Obama, and hasnt really saved any money with regards to pace launch cost. He just siphoned funds away from traditional contractors to reinvent the wheel. (lets face it, is it really commercial space when its all govt paid for?)

Well, now its time to see if it was worth the redirection of an industry. And like I say, my biggest prayer is for a successful launch and that the crew make it safely there and home. So, yeah, I hope Elon doesnt 'screw the pooch'.

Sounds like a personal thing. I was talking about space flight in general and launching and returning people still alive. Not funding, Obama etc. Again, space flight is extremely dangerous endeavor regardless of who is calling the shots, who is funding it, etc.

It’s not like driving to chicken licken for taco Tuesday.
