SpaceX will be the saving grace of NASA and will put NASA back in the “exploration” business and not the LEO business.

Having spacex doing the launch work for the private industry and nasa will allow nasa to afford to go to the moon and beyond.

I feel that NASA’s public relations and the advocate groups drop the ball on this opportunity. Of course it could be that the bailout bill, presidential election, Wall Street, plus Cubs and Sox making the playoffs (I’m in Chicago) took all the spotlight.
