It's not clear how or why the comparison exists except due to Uber being at the forefront of the current tech zeitgeist. There are many other things to compare this too. I am not clear on how informing the reader about the amount of funding Uber has raised and SpaceX's revenue from contracts actually clarifies and helps to provide proper perspective of the amount of money SpaceX has under contract. There is only mention of Uber in the title and once in the article, but the mention and comparison have worked to make everyone think about Uber (look at the current comments in this submission :))
- KaiserPro 11y agoI would have thought under the current funding systems having an "Uber" in contracted future sales would have limited its value. After all you've got to expand before making money. Or so the current thinking appears to go.
