NASA loses them, tooPwns wrote:The biggest corporate welfare queen of all time, Elon Musk.
I might get called anti-capitalist by GATW and kalm again, but this space privatization thing isn't working (like I said it wouldn't). Thanks, 0bama, that's one thing that shouldn't be privatized.
NASA figured out how to competently launch satellites decades ago.
And when they do, everybody involved gets cost-plus compensation
Im happy with Space-X (right now) because their ultimate goal is to become independently profitable in space travel, at an overall savings to the government. Given the help Space-X has gotten while starting up, the motivation *could* shift to that of Northrop Grumman, Boeing, et al: to make profits by milking the government for no-risk insurance and $1000 tacks
For now, I'm ok with Space-X dumping an occasional payload
