SpaceX is the only legitimate way to make it into space in the US right now though. it's mostly a failure of NASA, but it's going to take decades for a real competitor.
Not a failure of NASA a failure to fund NASA
Well, both funding and design by committee. Specifically a committee of politicians not motivated by the best or cheapest outcome, but the outcome that funnels jobs and money into their state and most specifically into their donors.
It sort of is. Securing funding is part of of the Job at the top level of officials.
And I'm making the point that failing to fund NASA is what has caused that and not replacing the shuttle system.
It is not the fault of them if they have to go with hat in hand and beg just to keep going projects that are meaningful.
Continue James Webb or scrap the ability to get james webb to space is essentially the a type of decision that had to be made.
I think they made the right call and i want to put the blame in the right spot.
Failing would be then deciding when they don't have to that they didn't want to build rockets anymore. At least that's how i see it, and I'm not in those circles so it's just like my opinion man
