Big changes coming to NASA, does this mean they'll eventually be able to compete with SpaceX in terms of launch capability? If so, how long will it take for NASA to get there?
>>16561679NASA has always been able to blow stuff up.
>>16561679NASA does not compete with SpaceXNASA contracts SpaceX, ULA (Boeing+Lockheed), Blue Origin, Rocektlab and Northrop GrummanNASA is like DoDDoD does not compete with General Dynamics
>>16561703From a high level that's true but there are areas that NASA has employees doing work that could be done by aerospace companies instead. Nevertheless, it's not always advantageous to outsource everything. Some things are better left in house.
>>16561703> DoD does not compete with General Dynamicsthey do though they have their own in house researchers and manufacturers
>>16561679Nasa is a tax siphon to pay for corporate research at the expense of citizens while privatizing the results. Almost all the ISS research projects were for private entities.
That letter looks fake. I had seen the same letter a few days ago being sent to other company.

>>16564479>designedNot built.
>>16563011>NASA is a general contractorWow no way!
>>16564547i see you're not familiar with the engineering process
>>16565779I see you're not familiar with what the word "build" means. SpaceX builds rockets. NASA doesn't and never has. NASA does not compete with SpaceX.
>>16565800NASA built rockets in the 60s and now they are no longer capable of doing so cause its just women and other affirmative action hires instead of epic nazis like it was back in the 60s
>>16567171>NASA built rockets in the 60They literally did not. They participated in design processes but did not build rockets.
>>16565800>NASA does not compete with SpaceX.they couldn't if they wanted to due to a lack of competence
