IIRC, NASA is monetarily invested in SpaceX. I believe most of their funding is from NASA.
That's not unusual. NASA farms out a lot of things. It's always been that way. Well since Apollo anyways.
The lander pic is a selfie. It's a mosaic, that used the arm's elbow to make it happen - they kinda planned it, then photoshopped the arm out to make it look cool. (or it's in Arizona - that's a legit theory too - sure looks the same)Originally posted by Matt-BComment

Yes I know nasa subs most of the hardware out. Whats the old Apollo quote.... something like sitting on top of a million pounds of rocket fuel and the most advanced launch system of the time all built by the lowest bidder.....

That quote is claimed by John Glee before he orbited the earth for the first time - in Atlas rocket...A rocket made to carry nukes, that use to blow up on the pad alot IRRC.
“I guess the question I'm asked the most often is: "When you were sitting in that capsule listening to the count-down, how did you feel?" Well, the answer to that one is easy. I felt exactly how you would feel if you were getting ready to launch and knew you were sitting on top of two million parts -- all built by the lowest bidder on a government contract.”
― John GlennAfter JFK's speech about putting a man on the moon, the new motto at NASA was ""Waste anything but time."Atlas is a family of United States missiles and space launch vehicles. The original Atlas missile was designed in the late 1950s and produced by the Convair Division of General Dynamics,[2] to be used as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

You know what I wish...that someone would make a kit car with a M1 body. Let it be m6x powered, with e30 seats and e30 dash. Maybe e28 suspension? That way you can put some 7-series rotors/calipers on it. Use all sorts of parts from easy to get stuff from e30/e24/e23/e28 area.
The main chassis could be made with Aluinium extrusion, and then a fiberglass shell on top of it.
It would never really be a real M1....but who cares. With looks of an M1 and 1800-2000 pounds? It would be awesome.
If only I had more time....Originally posted by Matt-BComment
