    the budget was moved over to SpaceX on the lie of private sector efficiency. But to the credit of SpaceX, they did blow up more rockets than the inefficient NASA ever did.

      How can you look at SpaceX and not say they are much more efficient than NASA? It’s actually a good thing they blew up so many rockets as part of research and development. It allowed them to achieve a rocket that can do things no other rocket can, like landing back on it’s launch pad, at a fraction of the cost of a NASA rocket to boot. The phrase is move fast and break things for a reason. I am all for giving NASA more budget, but I also think we should invest in SpaceX technology. It’s clearly superior no matter what you thing of Elon and his cronies.
