I'm not indicting SpaceX at all. They've very obviously been very successful. My hypothesis is there isn't room or capacity for more competition. They caught lightning in a bottle and it may never happen again. I may be wrong idk why people seem mad.
- panick21_ 2y agoI'm not sure you expressed that well and some of your facts were just false but are expressed confidently, that tends to wind people up a bit. > They caught lightning in a bottle and it may never happen again. Sure but doing it the old way you all but guarantee that its not gone happen again. In terms of engineering success, SpaceX didn't have some magical pill. Suggesting that these new processes could result in other successful companies. The recent successful moon lander in the CLIPS program is at least amazing as the Falcon 1 was. > My hypothesis is there isn't room or capacity for more competition. We have to differentiate the markets. Are you talking about human space flight only? Then you might be right in the short term. But NASA can at least guarantee flights if somebody else invests in it. In other markets much more competition exists.
