      Even SpaceX's little trips to lower orbit still rely on astronauts trained by NASA.

          Do both of you realize that spacecraft get put into orbit by their flight computers? The astronaut even if onboard is totally hands off on this part of the flight, and have been effer since the first sounding rockets shot gerbils into high altitude.

              Well it's more that you need a perfect track record of everything and also a really really good reason to be there. You need the educational background, often alot of military background, etc etc. It really depends if you're there just to be a mission commander, a test pilot, a payload specialist, etc, or some combination thereof, and you might just be pulled out the program just because reasons.

                You get to preform little experiments that you're told to do with the equipment you have there. They give you really detailed instructions, so don't mess them up. You also have to excercise just keep your musclular system in tact, and you can sleep in a sleeping bag velcroed to the wall.

    Well they have a particular set of public purposes, so how would a private company be a better NASA then NASA?
    You could say there are better rocket manufacturers, since NASA really doesn't do much in house manufacturing, you could say SpaceX is a very good launch provider, but they're contracted by NASA to launch payloads, same with ULA. You could say there are universities that do areodynamic research but NASA might support that research, so really the question doesn't make sense.

          When you have a massive system like this, the phrase "Does it work?" is too reductionist to query the actual abilities of the system. I have no doubt that they will reach orbit and have it safely return from orbit. Whether it will be as financially sound or as safe for human life as intended is a little but more up in the air.

    "NASA seems to have been crawling with this stuff for quite a while. When I read Linda Hunt's book, 'Secret Agenda', it was a big time education for me on why, because a lot of these Nazi war criminals ended up being put in NASA...they set up NASA, literally set it up. At the NASA facilities, they had some incredibly unusual programming that they did to some of us. I had one experience at age fifteen, I was taken to Goddard, which is a NASA facility outside of D.C. One of the things they seemed to like to do is dress up just like they are in Star Trek...they actually wear Star Trek uniforms with the Enterprise logo on them. Sometimes they would hypnotize me to think they were Dr. Spock, Bones, Captain Kirk, so I could not remember what their faces really looked like. One of the things they did at Goddard was very professional, very ingenious. They hooked me up to some kind of a computer system, very high tech for that period of time. They had earphones — more like a helmet on my head — and I don't understand how all this worked — but I closed my eyes and I could actually see images flashing in front of my face. I have been to Huntsville, Houston, Cape Canaveral, and Titusville I think was also a NASA facility...they did some nasty torture there."

    I know, from years of research, NASA technology and Aquino's programming, combined with the Project Monarch standard sleep, food, and water deprivation and high voltage, made Kelly a subject of state of the art genetically multigenerational MPD/DID psychological mind-control engineering. They talked about scrambling my immediate memory with two private porn films they were arranging to have produced locally. These were titled How To Divide a Personality and How To Create a Sex Slave. These films are the kind NASA became involved in producing for the dual purpose of 'scrambling' memory and documenting their mind-control procedures. The resident Huntsville, Alabama pornographers were two local cops, one of which was (and is) a Sergeant. This served NASA and the CIA well when cover-up was necessary. The How To Create a Sex Slave film depicts the common 'spin' programming, which in essence is the combination to unlocking or accessing a specific programmed act."

    "I was raised in the affluent area of Woodland Hills, California, but was abused my entire life in many locations in and out of California, including hospitals, universities, and United States military and NASA bases, where I was subjected to 'high-level' programming. I was taken from chairs that performed different operations, like one that spun, then to an isolation chamber. They put huge eye machines up to my face and had me close one eye and then the other in order to program each side of the brain separately. Some things were then reversed and programmed into another area of my brain through the opposite eye. They called this 'cross-programming.' For other functions, both sides of my brain had to be operating syncronistically. Information for mind file use was stored only on one side of my brain."

    Nasa is an R&D and jobs program, no private company has such budget. morons that says that nasa is expensive or that spacex has a better program are clueless, spacex doesnt give back their development to the society nor provide high valuable jobs. Every dollar invested in nasa gives back 8 to the society.
    And all of that is before we mention the space research itself

    SpaceX's revenue this year is ~$9B. (~$4B is from Starlink)
    SpaceX projected revenue next year is ~$15B (~$10B is from Starlink)
    The year after that will be ~$22B prob.

    NASA's budget is ~$30B.

    I'd say within 5 years, SpaceX will surpass them in terms of yearly funding/revenue.

    In sheer federal budgetary consumption? That's already happened many times over.

    In profitability? Of course! Despite the incalculable enrichment NASA's exploits've ultimately provided to the entire human race, just about any company operating in the black (both euphemistically for space and budgetary surplus) surpasses them in profit.

    Eventually, NASA will be relegated to something akin to NOAA (to those familiar with modern maritime meteorology & radio), a sort of "keep the lighthouses lit" and "provide timely space weather forecasts" and "inspect spacecraft for safety standards compliance" somewhat akin to the Coast Guard, with likely some high speed super spook gun bunnies for zero-gravity dynamic violence in specific non-Speace-Force situations.

    Or not, or something... who knows? Is your thread coming along nicely, OP?
