Note, I can't stand Elon Musk. I don't own stock, I don't own one of his vehicles. But credit to where it's due and stop with the gaslighting. The USA - as a country - did plenty of work on this project and were instrumental in getting the ship into space. But Musk and his company are the ones who created the vehicle and had the wherewithall to inspire NASA to do this project at all.

Psychologists use the term “gaslighting” to refer to a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions. And it’s always a serious problem, according to psychologists.
Nobody even mentioned NASA on the first page of thread until after your comments. Posts were just expressions of pride that the USA was back in space.
I'm pretty sure we can be proud of our country space endeavors whether the accomplishment comes from a private American company or the government.
I'm also pretty sure there is some gaslighting going on by someone in this thread.
