That's easy...goals. Apollo had a fixed
goal and timeframe to achieve it. That was the last time there was a
goal. Since then NASA has been captured by political and bureaucratic
interests.
NASA should be abolished totally...I used to
work there. White collar welfare.
Perhaps keep the JPL and allow them to do
robotic/science missions and buy rocket rides from Elon Musk...or the lowest
bidder.
I'm a recovering space enthusiast....The rocket
equation is a bitch. Until we figure out mass-les propulsion...human spaceflight
will remain impractical.
You have no idea how much this pains
me.

William,
Nice read, but one
question:
Why can’t a
government sponsored program work?
As you yourself said,
it seemed to with Apollo.
