    Easy, nationalize SpaceX. NASA absorbs operations, continue on.

      What a great idea. I hadn’t considered this. There’s no chance it will happen with our crazy reverence of the free market, but a sane country would respond this way.

      Then SpaceX is forced to adhere to political considerations and budget priorities. NASA oversight and intensely risk averse culture would not have allowed spacex to build a rocket factory, or risk throwing away prototypes for rapid iteration.

      Gwynne Shotwell is doing a pretty good job at SpaceX. She could be CEO once Musk gets ousted. If you look at the snail’s pace NASA has been moving at in crewed flight, I don’t think turning over SpaceX to them would be really helpful.

        There isn’t much need for crewed flights though.
