When we landed on the moon, there was great collective pride in that achievement. Our space program should be something that we ALL take part in. We shouldn’t hand over $10B in corporate welfare to Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, who are jointly worth $350B, to fund their space hobby.

I only agree with the part where he says to stop giving welfare to billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. That's exactly what it is, welfare for the ultra rich.

Sen. Maria Cantwell wants Jeff Bezos’s company to receive 10 billion dollars even though his bid was ... DOUBLE THE COST OF SPACE X … Bezos's company is located in ... HER STATE … this is clearly a … GIVE AWAY … for Jeff Bezos and her State of Washington!

I have a better idea. Let’s create a space tax for billionaires. $5 billion each billionaire. Problem solved!

NASA and it’s military industrial partners have long had their chance to develop cost effective and efficient vehicles to explore space, and they simply stopped innovating. SpaceX deserves credit for its achievements; they won their government contracts fairly.
