    They do…

    The only advantage SpaceX has is that if NASA blew up a launchpad, there would be an investigation.

    Everyone is used to Musk fucking shit up, and his defenders pretend it’s really a success.

    Your problem is with the politicians who control NASA funding, not NASA.

        Hey it’s got the best lawyers alright? It’s an amazing legal team, one of the most powerful in the space industry.

        I disagree. I think NASA still innovates but they do it on things like propulsion and earth sciences.

      They literally don’t innovate in the same way. Like you said, if NASA blew up anything there’d be an investigation, making it impossible for them to iterate rapidly, meaning they are unable to innovate in the way private companies can.
