NASA blew up a fair few rockets, and lost two shuttles, so that's not necessarily the better option.

Fair point, I don't want to fixate on that one aspect of the colossal technical challenge that is getting spacecraft into orbit, but I'm still of the opinion that a nationalized and fully government-funded space program will always yield better results than a privatized one because there is no profit-taking incentive.
