The dumbest part of our national discourse at this moment is:
Oh those crazy space billionaires!
How dumb are Bezos, Musk, Branson—spending $1 billion building rockets to fly themselves to space?
What a silly Gilded Age echo of ego, indulgence, not to mention tone-deafness.

3/ Bezos & Musk *already* do something NASA & its contractors never have:

That is an incredible, thrilling breakthrough.
And vital to space travel.
