SpaceX didn't start from zero (former NASA talent) and isn't funded entirely by private industry (gov grants and leases). Got a link for the most reliable rocket ever? Astronomers aren't too happy with StarLink, nor pedestrians with Tesla FSD beta being open to any driver with more money than sense. Musk's track record is heavily spotted. We can celebrate the successes together without turning a blind eye to the problems.

Not on my right now, but it just had 200 successful missions in a row. There is a link somewhere about statical methods of reliability and Falcon 9 is on top of that list. Even by just looking at simple % probability they are on top. I don't have the link at hand but if I can find it later Ill add it. > Astronomers aren't too happy with StarLink, nor pedestrians with Tesla FSD beta being open to any driver with more money than sense. So in order t ob considered successful every single person on the plant needs to love you? > Musk's track record is heavily spotted. We can celebrate the successes together without turning a blind eye to the problems. I am not doing that. Not everything has to be perfect to consider something a success. That a ridiculous standard.

As for SpaceX’s success streak, reaching 200 missions without losing a payload due to a rocket malfunction extends a record unparalleled in the launch business. https://spaceflightnow.com/2023/05/10/spacexs-falcon-rocket-family-reaches-200-straight-successful-missions/ https://spaceflightnow.com/2023/05/10/spacexs-falcon-rocket-...

“ SpaceX didn't start from zero (former NASA talent) and isn't funded entirely by private industry (gov grants and leases). ” So a company to be declared successful should only hire college graduates and only have private clients?

Rocket reliability. Unfortunately the website www.spacelaunchreport.com has shut down, you can find some of the data here, Falcon 9 already on top of the list. https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=56087.0 https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=56087.0 Since then Falcon 9 has launched many times with 100% success rate. Its really not a competition anymore.
