Maybe there wouldn't be the venom directed at him if he was playing catchup

congressman said when this whole commercial crew concept got going.

Other than you, who has been directing venom at Elong Musk or SpaceX?

Meanwhile Wiser supports SLS/Orion, which is the biggest socialistic
space program since the space shuttle. Apparently neither Wiser nor the
politicians remember the pain and suffering the shuttle program caused
commercial and military payloads. We should not be repeating the
mistakes we've made in the past.
