Because you're building for a million customers not 6.
- blocked_again 8y agoYeah. It's easier to make reusable rockets than Nike pants.
- perl4ever 8y agoIt seems like a tangent, but I think it may be. If you make reusable rockets, I would think you can sell them based on a straightforward list of technical capabilities. If you want to compete with Nike, and your shoes or clothing don't look right and don't have the Nike logo, you may not get anywhere even if you have all the technical boxes checked.
- perl4ever 8y agoSpaceX has blown up, according to a quick search, something like 2 rockets out of ~50. They make reliable, reusable rockets from the perspective of the launch industry, but if they sold a million cars and 40,000 of them exploded into huge fireballs when first used, then Tesla would not be considered successful. On an absolute scale, cars may be easier, but they're not easier relative to the competition.
