I see the day quickly approaching where SpaceX dictates these decisions from the front end, while NASA slowly slips into nothingness. They are quickly becoming a middle-man at best, but their are other implications with the fast ascension of SpaceX in the last few of years: This could include flight training for future pilots/astronauts. If Musk does indeed build 1,000 Starships, do you think there will be enough government funding for NASA to field and train thousands of pilots under multiple programs, or do you think SpaceX would rather just absorb it with their own capital? I think the latter makes much more sense.
