before you posit NASA vs SpaceX as exemplary of public vs private sector performance, consider that the private sector has also given us Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and Boeing.
a better model is that extraordinary achievement is hard, most organizations will fail, a stable is far better than a champion, whether public or private.
