I agree w/ Chuck. It's a BIG IF. I'm hoping for them. I really hope BO turns out to be a good competitor for SpaceX so they're both highly motivated. I've seen the sausage being made at a couple of new space companies (and at least one old space company.) Even more than chip vendors and PC clone manufacturers, Heavy Lift providers are their own worst enemies. If SpaceX fails, it will be because of something they decided to do, not something that was foisted upon them. Ditto for Rocket Lab and Blue Origin. But the cool flip side of that is they're free to do extremely cool/innovative things. The guys who are privately held aren't beholden to a board that wants increasingly dependable revenue and profits (looking at you, ULA.) And this does not seem to be the industry that can tolerate that. I'm bullish on SpaceX, BO and Rocket Lab (assuming Rocket Lab doesn't run out of runway.) |
