Default Is NASA dead

NASA, as a political organization, doing things at the behest of
Congress, is dead. It might be renewed as an "R&D" operation, leaving
the exploitation of "new" technologies to the private sector. And
that includes the building of heavy lifters, space stations,
extra-planetary habitats - all the big ticket Projects - that turned
NASA into a burocratic quagmire.

That's backwards from how things usually work.
Usually it's the private sector that does the inventing and developing
before offering something to the government sector...
