- avmich 6y agoSpaceX absolutely competes against NASA in SLS case - SLS is so absurd even deep pockets of USA taxpayer can't prevent SLS losing in comparison to SpaceX solutions. Of course, NASA can use more regulatory heavy handing - they had approximately that unfortunate experience with Beal Aerospace - but we'll see if NASA will get to it in the current situation. So far the forecast isn't that dark.
- azernik 6y agoNASA is not the competitor. How can I tell? Because if SpaceX wins, it's a NASA check they'll be cashing.
