Thanks Forkin
growing up was a big fan of NASA. , starting with the Mercury program thru the Apollo program (which was built by Chrysler Motors) my dad was a letter carrier in Washington and delivered John Glenn's mail to his house, he and his wife got me 8 by 10 color portrait's signed to me of the original 7 Astronauts and a letter sent to me postmarked the day John went up in the Mercury. 
pretty cool for my office wall
most overnite successes usually take at least 10 years
Certified turd polisher,

Space X vertical landing on its tail, is an amazing technical feature.
Modern technology can do what, the animator creators of the old Buck Roger's ship could do.

It took private sector to revive this. I know they, at least some, get gov grants. Look where the money goes if you put it in the right place instead of pissing it off on pork!
Then came the Space Force to do the government's biddings.
