And what were done with those supposed advancements? Oh NASA just gave then away?
Technology and the space industry will advance far more rapidly now that its in the hands of the commercial sector. They'll actually want to make a profit. Unlike the government who will spend crap tons of money on it, give the technology away that was developed by it, and then spend another huge sum to buy back the technology for future projects.
Space industry will advance technology more in the next ten years than NASA has in the past thirty
