As a Russian-American this doubly pleases me. As a Russian I have found Rogozin's "trampoline" comment distasteful, and I think they should fund Roscosmos much better and come up with new stuff instead of relying on 40 year old Soviet designs. Now they might. And as an American, I'm in awe of the fact that SpaceX is possible in this day and age when companies live and die for quarterly profits and internet advertising is considered to be a respectable thing to do, and I especially love that a private company is running circles around bloated government bureaucracies and ULA that's feeding from that money pit.
