    Here’s an idea: instead of private corporations sucking $20B a year on bad engineering, why not directly use that money for a not for profit federal agency?

    We could call it the National Aeronautic Space Administration for Launches. Or, NASAL.

      believe me, I am all for public space. The problem is Congress fucking sucks. And also NASA can’t afford as much as said private corporations

      We have that already: NASA’s Space Launch System.

      It’s … debatable whether it gives better results than commercial contracts.
