I agree with just about everything Administrator Isaacman says here. And I appreciate and applaud him for having the courage to state some of it so directly.

This is absolutely correct and important. Most of the "new space" industry has been passing around the same $10B that originated from NASA. The ones that are now doing ok pivoted into defense. There are a lot of companies providing services and technology for which no non-government market exists.

we also need to fund several new crewed vehicles too? To the author’s point, nothing stopped one company from building a suborbital vehicle and operating it dozens of times without NASA as an anchor tenant, but I think market realities have spoken and the service appears to have been paused.
