Looks like all the recent advancements in space exploration are being made in the private sector (but then NASA wouldn’t have made it to the moon and back without the help of such “eeeviill” private entities such as Lockheed, General Dynamics, and General Electric). Note to NASA, Obama, and Senator Elizabeth Warren: “You didn’t build that.”
