The first man on the moon and the last man on the moon think just like I do.

I hope they weren't both as unaware of what's actually happening as you seem to be.

Gene Cernan actually was, and he admitted it:

Cernan, Jurvetson recalls, asked a lot of questions about the company and its funding. “As I told him these stories of heroic entrepreneurship, I could see his mind turning,” Jurvetson wrote. “He found a reconciliation: ‘I never read any of this in the news. Why doesn’t the press report on this?’” In fact, many of the ups and downs about SpaceX that Jurvetson recounted to Cernan have been reported in the media—including during a certain 60 Minutes segment.

You didn't answer my question. Do you think that Boeing is also a big Obama contributor? Did you actually read the article that you're ignorantly spouting off about?

I worked for twenty five years for Raytheon. I was technical lead on AMRAAM and was project lead for satellite ground stations (JSAT and MEASAT). So I have a technical background.

I basically do not like the way Obama has handled NASA. On many levels. Starting with Muslim outreach to outsourcing our manned astronaut program to Russia. That's just for starters.

One thing I do know is how litigious this society is. One and done is exactly what I meant. SpaceX has one miss hap they will be finished.
Besides that the CEO OF SpaceX said at the last launch that if that wasn't a success that would have been it. A great vote of confidence there.

Typically most aerospace companies heavily subsidize both parties.
I've seen interviews with the CEO of SpaceX. It was like a political advertisement for Obama.

I looked at some of your other posts you tend to lash out into ad hominem attacks.
