SpaceX successful Starship landing in Texas

One small step
I find it hard to believe that NASA would have gotten four test flights off since December. They would still be organizing a committee to study the first one.
Agreed....but to be fair, if SpaceX was using tax dollars and blew up 4 ships before landing the 5th, the public would be outraged. NASA doesn't have the luxury of test, fail, test again. Too many taxpayer eyes on it. I'm always shocked at how many people aren't even aware of what SoaceX is doing
There is a lot I do not like about NASA, but they did just fly an aircraft on Mars, and they now land their Rovers by rocket. I think it is finally a good thing that they have turned this part of our space program over to the privet sector. I wonder how long it will be before we see any thing like the shuttle again.

IF the need for one arises and there's nothing there to satisfy that need, we may see Shuttle v2, and this time it should be a relatively quick development as we've been there before.

The US Space Force operates two unmanned X-37B space-planes which have flown a total of 6 times. The most recent launch was in May last year and it's still in orbit.
NASA has awarded a Commercial Resupply Services contract to Sierra Nevada for 6 flights to the ISS using its Cargo Dream Chaser space-plane. The first flight is scheduled for 2022.
