Please enlighten us how they are designing the rockets wrongly.
- piva00 3y ago> It's not tax payer money, it's spacex's money. Some US$ 18 billion came from tax payer though.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoAnd it was better spent at SpaceX than the usual cost plus defense industry players.
- stetrain 3y agoRight, but they only received that money by delivering completed milestones and missions. They didn't get money to blow things up with no results.
- luuurker 3y agoWhat's the difference between SpaceX and all the other big US space companies? They all receive government contracts/investment/subsidies (or whatever you want to call it). Why is this specific company being singled out?
- estebank 3y ago% of income attributable to the public coffers.
- arandomusername 3y agoWhen McDonalds spends money, do you complain they are spending your money? US government paid SpaceX for services rendered. It's economy 101.
- piva00 2y agoIf I have agency over the spending of course I won't complain, when tax money is allocated then I'm feel pretty free to complain :) I don't live in the USA though so don't have a horse in the race.
- BurningFrog 3y agoThat money is from selling goods and services to the government on a commercial market.
- tekla 3y agoYou do understand that private companies wish to get paid for goods and services provided to the govt?
