[ExI] musk does it again

SpaceX lifted a crew to the station today.  I spoke to an old friend who grew up on the Space Coast and never left.  He commented at how very different operations are now that a private company is building the rockets rather than NASA.  In the NASA days, they had to spread contracts all over every state which built in inefficiency and drove up costs.  Musk arranged for subcontractors right there in the area around central Florida, which saves money a hundred ways.

Good luck Mr. Musk!
