How many decades of support do you require from Space-x after the satellite is launched?
How many ntsb recalls have resulted from a rocket sensor failure in a satellite launch that wasn’t detected for a decade after initial production?
I think you're short changing the differenc e in long term support an automotive MFG needs in comparison to a one time launch
- akiselev 6y agoForget support - just getting a chassis even tested costs an order of magnitude more. For the price of a single five year model refresh and accompanying crash testing, NASA would be able to buy at least a dozen SpaceX launch vehicles or three to five full missions once you include overhead. The average car company will do at least half a dozen of these refreshes every five years like clockwork and you can bet a chassis optimized for LIDAR will have to do the full suite of tests.
