SpaceX and Elon Musk are becoming more and more disconnected from the rest of the world in the space race; Only the most die-hard would not admit it. Only the same Musk can catch Musk (don't suggest to Erol, he's fine on Russian TV), in this case it's not so much about money, but about the management system of a private space corporation, as well as the leader's own desire to go towards his dream, no matter how impossible it seems.
No amount of appointing the right people to the position of visionary leader will solve the problem, the right one will not pass the selection, and the right one will not be able to get close to Errol's son, who is rapidly reaching fifth cosmic speed.
The future of space belongs to public-private businesses, where the state is one of the customers, and not necessarily the biggest, but definitely the anchor. We will be led into space by people who know how to dream and take risks, even if their biography will not be clear from the point of view of being appointed to a top management position.
