Thankfully, Elon Musk is putting his money where his mouth is. Steve Cooke is a great guy, but NASA/MSFC is rudderless. Shuttle was an enormous waste of money ($300M marginal launch cost!) and Ares 1 is screwed. Ares V is history before it starts…

I concur with the above poster: we are wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on car bailouts when we could spend a fraction of that amount, define a Griffen-less path forward and really have a space program!
