They've tried everything except actually funding NASA, and they're all outta ideas.

NOTE: China WILL overtake NASA, the same way they are dominating the renewable energy sector — because they invest heavily in science, and they do it early. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand this shit.

    Unfortunately that company is the best hope we have to stay ahead. With their low cost they can monopolize the worldwide launch market(except Russia and China). So that funding, strategically, must continue.

    What should also happen is funding spacex competitors, so we stay on the bleeding edge.
