This new flavor of conservatism is so strange in light of how bound to free market ideals most flavors of conservatism are.
In general, I really quite dislike Conservative/Liberal labels as political stances are not two-dimensional, but rather multidimensional. Parties are loose alliances of disparate groups. And somehow there's this rising contingent of neocons, who also happen to dislike SpaceX.
Does anyone understand this?
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.
SpaceX is one of those cases where the free market actually has been more effective. So why not seize on it?
