      Definitely more efficient than NASA today. But private companies wouldn’t have been able to pull off the moon landing, which was NASA’s great accomplishment.

      There’s a place for government programs and enormous piles of money.

      SpaceX would never exist if there was no NASA. Before government programs that can pioneer and not have to be “profitable” no company can exist.
