I'd rather not have a bunch of Space Marines take over the cosmos either. But NASA is underfunded, overextended and misunderstood by a public that thinks it gets 20% of the budget and flies missions drunk. Oh yeah, and faked the moon landings too.

If the Air Force called the shots in US Human Spaceflight, maybe they'd just go do it.
