    Uh, basically no.

    NASA has experiments to run, spaceX has no idea what science NASA is interested in doing. So having SpaceX make the payload doesn’t really make a lot of sense.

      So it sounds like they are codependent at this point. The bigger the nasa budget the better for space X.

        I mean, that’s always been the case. That’s literally spaceX’s primary job, putting things in space for NASA. It’s the same for every launch provider in the US.
