I actually agree with you on Orion/EELV for LEO.

But I still loath this Musk-worship you find out there.The man's not
the Messiah when it comes to HSF, and he's looking way, way, ahead. At
least with this reusable Falcon 9 idea, he's putting up his own dinero-
maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

The nice thing is that he's not the only one. Look at where the money
is coming from for Stratolaunch. This is what capitalism is all about.
NASA is unfortunately a government run socialistic enterprise when
they're developing their own launch vehicles.
