I'm not sure this is possible or desirable, but even if it were, how do you convince lawmakers to do that in the face of this economic reality?

Perhaps an interesting milestone: @SpaceX commercial revenue from space will exceed the entire budget of @NASA next year.

SpaceX revenue this year will be ~$15.5B, of which NASA is ~$1.1B.

@elonmusk @SpaceX @NASA That is crazy https://t.co/9G04YWzsmI

Because having all of US space capability controlled by a white trash drug addict is bad

@pintleinjector The funny thing is, they allegedly ordered about 20 launch towers a few years ago.  So more than likely at least 2 or 3 of them are already fabricated and just sitting in a storage yard waiting to be delivered.

Parts will arrive at Roberts road assembly yard as fast as they can

This but with Starship. 

Multiple towers launching multiple times per day. https://t.co/nJkCLetWHq

yes, but https://x.com/xdNiBoR/status/1933516714274140540

Single points of failure are dangerous 

Space is too important to be controlled solely by Elon

I am rooting for them and FWIW I think Elon does too

I agree, you know, just need serious competition
