SPACEX, Not NASA Gives Bang For The Buck. Dragon VS Orion And No Hidden Fees.

NASA's Orion:  20 years to first launch in 2023.
SPACEX's Dragon Capsule:  13 years to complete 12 manned launches by 2020.

NASA by 2023 will have cost $20 billion, about half of it in hidden budgets.
SPACEX by 2020 has spent $6 billion and would have launched sooner if NASA hadn't delayed it.

Here's a made-up metric for timely value:
NASA  20 years x $20 billion divided by 1 launch =  400 launch units per flight.
SPACEX:   13 years   x $6 billion divided by 12 launches =  6.5 launch units per flight.
ADVANTAGE SPACEX by over 60 fold.
