This tbqh, I can't avoid smiling at the fact that space travel was taken away from government-employed nerds with inflated egos.

I'm not really mad, NASA is cool, but I got tired of looking at that whole situation with them making no progress and keeping space travel as this mythical once-a-year ritual where the NASA wizards in their white labcoats send some overqualified supermen on a disposable multimillion dollar vehicle into space.
