Bell has plenty of arguments....
"What NASA is telling alt.space is: "You say you can do
spaceflight cheaper than BoLockMartNorGrum if we relax the
rules. OK, here is the amount of money you want and the
rules you want. Now put up or shut up."

Wasn't SpaceX supposed to finally test its rocket this month? Delayed again and again and again....
Remember during last Shuttle flight, the issue about landing at White Sands? NASA said it was concerned about the sand....It appears Kwajalein has the same problem.
I'm not aware of people getting very wealthy working for NASA subcontractors.
Wasn't one of those space entrepreneurs jailed for fraud or something like that?
NASA has lost crews in 1967, 1986 and 2003....Of course it must be careful and that's why there's so much bureaucracy.
Not one of the space entrepreneurs has managed yet to successfully launch anything into low earth orbit.
