...and another reason why we should be putting our money into NASA (a public company) and not SpaceX or Blue Origin. The latter two are all excited about achieving things NASA did 60 years ago, while NASA is already exploring Mars, something SpaceX says is a distant goal.

It's almost like our Congress is corrupt and is givign money to these private space enterprises for reasons other than better performance. It is clear NASA is doing better with far less money.
