No doubt this will irritate Jeff to no end. I hear he’s not a big SpaceX fan.
- philwelch 3y agoI would be shocked if this happened unless Amazon’s hand was somehow forced by shareholders. Even if none of the rockets fly when Amazon expects them to, it’s more likely for Amazon to quietly drop the whole project than go to SpaceX. It’s going to take years of delays for Amazon to realize that their launch partners aren’t gonna work out, and by then the market opportunity will be over. Frankly, the whole satellite deal always smelled like self-dealing to me in the first place.
