And a lot of failures, including Gissom, Young, and Chaffee.

NASA has screwed the pooch a LOT because of institutionalized thinking.

NASA didn't build those spacecraft. They hired contractors to that they didn't watch. They let a test go on with men inside at 15 PSI O2 with crap wiring in a flakey spacecraft.

No... I'll never be convinced that government can do a better job of providing transportation from point a to point b.

I've ridden in a C-130 and a 747, one government, one commercial. I know which one was better and safer.

LOL. Why don’t you compare apples and chainsaws? They are both associated with trees.

Now just a bleepin second.

Did the government make the C-130?

So you’re ok with “fly then fix” for SpaceX and the failures which that introduces but use the failures of NASA to condemn them?

kinda hypocritical

Comparing a C-130 to a 747 is laughable.
