    The space shuttle was a mistake, but that is a laughably disingenuous route to claim that NASA couldn’t be doing these things for cheaper than private companies. Saturn V rocket launches were cheaper than space shuttle launches.

      yeah but the falcon 9 and heavy are the cheapest ever compared to everything

      I hate musk, don’t misunderstand me, but spaceX has done some incredible things with rocket reusability
