Well, if today is any indication there’s one thing SpaceX can do that NASA definitely can’t: Have a massive and much-hyped spacecraft blow up spectacularly after launch and then the camera pans to everyone applauding wildly and saying, “Wow, what a great test, we learned so much!” instead of “Wow, how dangerous and irresponsible, NASA has lost its touch, we can’t trust them, maybe should give all its money to some upstart company.”
@cyberlyra I'm still waiting for someone to question why it took so long for range officer to issue the destruct command after the rocket went off course.
@Terri My guess is they were trying to gather the data necessary to see what precisely was going wrong.
