SpaceX to lay off 10% of its workforce

[MicaelS]

5. Rubbish.

SpaceX has done more than any other private space venture.

As far as the taxpayer goes, we ( which means our elected officials of BOTH parties) have done a piss-poor job of advancing spaceflight.

We STILL do not have a US manned spaceflight capability.

Bush grounded the shuttle, and Obama did little to advance manned spaceflight.

Spaceflight is often the whipping boy for other parties.

The Repukes want to cut NASA's budget because they do not trust science, and they always want to cut everything but defense.

The Democrat want to spend the money on the ground.
