True
Same as Artemis, same as the ULA rockets. Usual governmental kerfuffle. Sigh.
SpaceX best decision was not letting the US gov/mil get too involved in their management. They would provide a service and that's it
But that being said, projects of that magnitude usually get delayed. Sigh.
(also for those who don't remember - Ariane 5 had some delays and high-profile unscheduled disassemblies at its start. But hey, also remember all the fireworks SpaceX gave us at the beginning as well)
- midland_trucker 4y agoExactly, it's just the wrong people at the top and the wrong incentives. Is Arianespace structurally capable of producing economical access to space? Probably not.
