@dafyre NASA does science, not launches. That is how it should be, let them discover new things while spacex gets them where they need to go.
Why not have SpaceX do the science, too?

Grafana with Zimbra
https://grafana.com/dashboards/2846Wow that is nice.
Where is the same for Exchange, MS? Resource Monitor is terrible compared to this dashboard.People who run Exchange don't care about stuff like this

Because totally not the same thing.

Right, I'm asking why they don't make it the same thing.

@scottalanmiller They would need to become NASA to do what NASA does, and in doing so lose what makes them Spacex. spacex isnt making anything nearly as complicated as NASA. NASA is way beyond rocket science with clever gyros.

To be fair... compared to other countries NASA wasn't that great at rocket science.

@coliver True. But now they are doing things like gravity wave detection.
The possibilities with that are akin to the discovery and manipulation of radio waves 100 years ago; knowledge that fundamentally transformed humanity. -

Well sure, but I want them to do twice as much for half the money. What NASA does is "make good things at great cost", I want them to do something better.

Forty years of NASA just to keep pace with four years of Nazi Germany.

Not quite that extreme but it's a good point.

We were at least a decade behind Russia for most of the space race and cold war.

Decently true. Until just recently we were still flying our main space craft based on a WW2 Nazi design.

It still requires at least a partial compromise of the server beforehand. Not really an issue.
...you’ve partially compromised the server or maybe you wrote a malicious browser extension.
