He somehow made it all about him but Trump is not entirely wrong. Space X came into the market because NASA has been starved of attention and funds for decades. It has been so starved of funds they can't even launch anything without Russian Soyuz rockets anymore.

@QuixoticSoul This sounds like a blatant funneling of public funds into the private sector like Space X. Not sure what that is supposed to prove.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well for one, it means that NASA was not closed down or starved of funds. And betting that the private sector is mature enough to start pitching in paid off.
