It is different not only on a technical level, but culturally as well. I don't think the entire country is rooting for SpaceX as representative of the group. Instead, it's Elon's company. If they get to the moon... good for Elon.
- TangoTrotFox 8y agoI think that's most likely just you projecting your own views. See people's reactions to their launches. YouTube is the home to some of the most antagonistic commentary, yet check out the comments to the Falcon Heavy Launch. If you can make YouTube look like a great group of enthusiastic, optimistic, unified aspirants - then it's safe to say they're already bringing the world like nothing before. And that's with little more than the launch of a special rocket. When SpaceX is putting people on another planet, I think we will have entered into the beginning of a new era in humanity.
