Good thoughts.
I've often wondered why it has taken private enterprise so long to start doing stuff in space in any meaningful way. Of course private enterprise has always manufactured the hardware but the planning and specifications have always been left up to the government.
And I've never seen anything done by any government agency, that private enterprise couldn't do faster, better, safer and cheaper.
