Falcon 9 funded Starship. Now there is little funding for a competitor, ignoring the fact that Starship will sink that even closer to 0 with such low launch costs.
- panick21_ 2y agoBlueOrigin is not making money but investing more then most nation states. In fact, Bezos is single outspending Europe in terms of rocket investment. Bezos invested way more in New Gleen then Europe in Ariane 6. Not to mention outspending India whole space budget.
- gibolt 2y agoThis only strengthens my point. Given all that spending, they still are seemingly nowhere close to a Starship competitor.
