I'm a fan of SpaceX but you're wrong.
SpaceX is standing on the shoulders of what NASA and other space agencies have been doing for decades. Government agencies spent billions of dollars developing space exploration and SpaceX is able to use that knowledge to cut costs and take the next step.
It doesn't need to cost billions of dollars to travel into space anymore.

Someone very acutely pointed put that NASA is less about space exploration and it's more about employment. If you reverse these priorities back, you get SpaceX.
