- ant6n 9y agoSpaceX didn't start in a vacuum, or in the 40s.

- wongarsu 9y agoNeither did Ariane 5, Atlas V, Delta IV or Soyuz-FG. Of course SpaceX profits from the state of the art, but not developing the Xth iteration over a proven and battle-tested design with decades of flight-data is a disadvantage for SpaceX.
