Breitbart, other conservative outlets escalate anti-SpaceX campaign
This new flavor of conservatism is so strange in light of how bound to free market ideals most flavors of conservatism are.<p>In general, I really quite dislike Conservative&#x2F;Liberal labels as political stances are not two-dimensional, but rather multidimensional.  Parties are loose alliances of disparate groups.  And somehow there&#x27;s this rising contingent of neocons, who also happen to dislike SpaceX.<p>Does anyone understand this?<p>Edit:  I want to clarify that the alternative to private enterprise competing for government contracts (usually military, again usually a conservative delight) is direct government sponsorship, i.e. NASA.<p>SpaceX is one of those cases where the free market actually has been more effective.  So why not seize on it?
