That's pretty much my point. On the first page of this thread, the
implication was that NASA was wholly responsible for this, the credit went to them, and to America - as in - our government, thanks to our federal organizations, and no one else.
But NASA would not have had a flight to oversee, if Musk's company hadn't built the ship.
