    If NASA didn’t believe something would work, they wouldn’t waste R&D on it, especially when the taxpayer would be paying for the failures and demanding more.

    This was only ever possible by being privately funded. And yes, public money was added, AFTER it was proven to be viable, which was purely private. Can’t have B without A first.
