Like that Musk-Branson-Bezos are in a capitalist space race? Rather than NASA diverting money from social welfare projects, they are using their own money for space tourism. And it looks like Blue Origin even has plans for asteroid mining and returning man to the Moon.

LOL Yes and they are being attacked by the left for living their dream instead of paying more taxes.
Here's one fromthe New York Post (don't worry, it's extremely accurate)
Lefty Democrats are lambasting Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos over his “despicable” comments thanking Amazon employees and customers for financing his brief trip to space — and calling on the billionaire to pay his share of taxes here on Earth.
The show of appreciation by Bezos Tuesday to the workers and customers who “paid for all this” following his $5.5 billion flight did not dazzle the likes of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
“Am I supposed to be impressed that a billionaire went to space while he’s paid zero in federal income taxes some years and the workers at his company struggle to afford their medical bills, rent, and food for their kids?” Sanders tweeted. “Nope. It’s time to invest in working people here on Earth.”
