@canefan so fucking cool aye. We are just past the cusp of a sea change in tech, knowledge and ambition. Imagine if govts had pulled finger with legit funding earlier, rather than leaving it to the private sector. Although in saying that these guys have a good relationship with NASA no?

Very much so. Just watched Elon talking about the co-design roll NASA took on. Certainly wouldn’t be a success without them.
The key is SpaceX is not acting like a normal contractor like Boeing, and sucking at the tax payer teat. They are actively trying to reduce launch costs.
