Thanks, Obama. Really glad you privatized space travel. It's going great. Our space program now consists of Guy who wants space apartheid, and company whose name is synonymous with planes that crash for no reason.

I mean, private companies have been responsible for every launch since the Soviet Union fell (unless China is fully state owned, I don't know)

NASA modifies equipment sometimes but they were always buying launch vehicles from private industry.
