NASA is obsolete...they spent decades of work and can't re-land their rockets....only took Elon and SpaceX a few years to develop...Elon is the future of space and NASA and Space X will probably merge once Trump takes office. I see you have focused your hatred on Elon...did he fuck your GF or something?
Any transformative space exploration initiative will only be led by NASA.
SpaceX is private enterprise.
They are constrained by delivering profits to shareholders.
So they will never take up an initiative such as putting astronauts on Mars because the risk and costs are too prohibitive.
What will happen is NASA will decide that they want to put astronauts on Mars (for example).
They will get funding from Congress.
And then they will float a tender saying they want a rocket to do so.
Elon will put up his hand and offer starship and others will too.
And he and others may be awarded billions in government contracts to provide components for NASA's Mars mission.
This is what is happening today with the Artemis program. Take a look at it.
So no, NASA is not "obsolete".
They are a federal agency and they are not going to merge with a corporate.
They are the ones who will lead these initiatives.
The only thing private enterprises like SpaceX will do, is do what NASA did before, for much cheaper. Because they are profit minded.
You constantly make uneducated and uninformed comments.
By the way, why are you choking on Elon's dick?
Do you bottom for him or something? lmfao.
I hate Elon because he is a lying windbag. A con.
A right wing grifter.
