Fifteen years ago, the world doubted that private commercial launch companies could succeed without the government. What we have seen is not just an immense success with commercial launch, but commercial space companies have had a bonanza that had not been seen with governmental control over the launch industry. Commercial launch and commercial space companies are finding efficiencies that government space still cannot find. Just look at the cost and schedule for James Webb Space Telescope.

Government just cannot compete with private companies, nor should it compete with them.
