What a load of tripe.
NASA continues to run groundbreaking missions. "Competition" from the private sector is nothing more than the private sector taking space technology from Nasa, then getting huge government kickbacks (SpaceEx), and using that.
There is no 'competition' in space without the government kickbacks, and the reason THAT is happening is pretty simple: Corporate Welfare.
