Even though it would inflate #ElonMusk’s enormous ego, the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 needs to call #SpaceX & order a ride.
#Boeing should send the craft down empty.

@1dalm @Patrickoldhiker @arstechnica I am actually in favor of a mixed approach: privatization of space transportation to bring down the cost of space travel (within the Earth & Luna system), while using government space transportation to places where it is too costly to generate any profit (Mars & beyond).
But the last thing we need is a space monopoly controlled by an unstable man. Hopefully Blue Origin can step up to the challenge.

Privatizing was a good idea. Tipping the scales during procurement to favor Boeing was the mistake.

@darnell @arstechnica Shutting down NASA-operated space launch capacity in favor of private companies was a major mistake.
