    I actually prefer NASA to focus on science engineering. There’s a need for private launch capabilities anyway and this way NASA can focus on what they do best.

      What’s the need for private launch capabilities? Private = capitalist. I don’t see much good in capitalist ventures.

        Because there’s a need for private satellites? Should NASA use limited resources for that?

          The airspace is a public asset though. Letting capitalists exploit it for profit isn’t going to end well, if the rest of the environment is anything to go by.
