We need more cats like this NASA is compromised...Did you see when Neal Armstrong told Elon Musk what he was doing was "a mistake."? Musk was almost in tears, hope these old curmugeons don't get in the way of real exploration.

didn't see that and never heard of it.
THAT's a good 'seed' for conspiracy theories.
Not saying it's aliens...or seeeecret world government or anything..but..
I would like to see that, someone needs to take Elon down a peg. He is a glorified welfare queen.
All is true but he might be able to pull out of the reliance on gov't hand-outs and it's great to see someone else w/skin in the game. NASA just doesn't cut if anymore. Branson, Musk. Maybe if NASA had some competition they would get something done!
Yeah sure. They've been at it for quite awhile too and tons of money has already been spent on NASA. Perhaps some competition can be a healthy thing. Light a fire under their asses. Branson's company btw, is self-funded. Stop whining about gov't contracts, there is plenty to go around especially if you're not asking for a hand out.
Like go to the moon, land rovers on Mars that operate for a decade past their design life, send probes to the furthest reaches of the solar system and walk in space? How does a billionaire profiting off the taxpayers help?
It's not really competition, its graft. Musk and Branson get the government contracts not because they are the best or smartest or most efficient but because they are the best connected.
