| > was rashly awarded in very sketchy circumstances by a NASA executive that now works for spaceX Except that it wasn't. That's just one of the CSS things that only he actually believes. > so the executive calls spacex to have them ask a lower price Except that not actually true. In fact, a NASA official just recently got fired for this. If anybody had real evidence that this happened, the person responsible for selection would have been fired. > Overall my impression is that SpaceX/Musk lives on hype They just launched their 300 rocket and landed over 274 of them. They have many times tested the most advanced engine in the world. They supply cargo and crew transport to ISS. The are the largest rocket and sat operator in the world. This is the literal opposite of 'just hype'. SpaceX has actual revenue, something that actually makes sustainable over time. BlueOrigin, the company CSS loves to hype because they are not SpaceX are literally just a vanity project. They have no done much yet and the re-usability of their rocket is 'hype'. It really takes the mastermind delusional CSS to pretend the opposite is true. |
