#2 or this comment on the thread: /snark
So when we talk of having a diverse selection of launch providers, it appears that will be a choice between Dragon and Starship in the next 5 years.

QUESTION: With the USA DEEPLY in Debt. Why are we still reaching for the Stars with TAXPAYER $$$$$$? What new that actually benefits the USA has been learned in 20+ years?

Especially when we have a number of Private Commercial Vendors willing to fund space exploration for profit at no cost to the Taxpapyers.
