      ULA is already a private company. I don’t think the US government has done any of their own work to get to space since the shuttle.

      Why cant scientific progress not be a group effort with everyone doing their part according to their means?

      Don’t we all want essentially the same things?

      • sustainable production of (luxury) goods

      • sustainable power production

      • to evolve as a species and explore more of the unknowns in the cosmos

  Damn, wonder why ULA is up for sale. Boeing and Lockheed don’t want to play together anymore?
