What strikes me is not how much money is being spent, but how it is spent and the results. SpaceX has spent about $10 billion to develop and deliver products and services compared to NASA, which has spent about $465 billion. To be fair, NASA spends on projects other than a low-cost Earth-to-Orbit option and SpaceX certainly benefits from NASA's experience, but I think the immense difference in ROI speaks volumes. And that's not even mentioning that while NASA took in about $1 to $2 billion from non-federal sources during the past 25 years, SpaceX takes in $5 to $7 billion every year...
