SpaceX was started years before Obama’s election. Look at the history of air transport. NACA (the predecessor of NASA) was charged with R&D, not operations. The NASA / Apollo model is an artifact of the Cold War. While today NASA is the only paying customer, other private entities, such as Bigelow, are waiting in the wings.
