Actually, that is exactly what I am arguing. Unlike you though, I see
the benefits derived from NASA's activities. Are there problems? yes.
Should NASA be doing commercial launches? Absolutely not. However,
to contend that NASA is a failure is to ignore that all pioneering
work started with a few individuals and a dream willing to make the
sacrifices to make their dream a reality. That step has been taken. NASA
should turn the commercial activities over to corporations and return to
doing cutting-edge scientific research, period.
