    they wouldn’t need to take SpaceX. just replace Musk’s ownership/control with Some Advisory Board™️staffed by project managers that know the fuck they’re doing. SpaceX wouldn’t necessarily need to be closed- just a change in ownership.

    Granted, that’s pratically a pipe dream since congress has been intent on privatization instead of having NASA be in that role.

    after about a decade, the government then sells its stake off slowly; probably reaping a rather huge profit while it’s at it.
