What a narrow world view. A fully reusable single stage to orbit "plane" completely changes the dynamics of putting stuff in orbit both on cost and turn around time. The Falcon 9 is privately funded as is the Merlin engine it uses however pretty much all the materials science, initial engineering etc required to design and build a merlin was publicly funded. There are times when a public/private partnership makes sense and this is one of them. |
