    I wish there was someone out there who wasn’t a bazinga brained Musk fan, who could be relied upon to discuss how it was that NASA pulled off all the wonderful things they pulled off (even though there were some absolutely horrific accidents like Apollo 1, and two space shuttle losses with all crew) but SpaceX has had almost, if not more time than NASA has had and really doesn’t have much to show for it.
