Well now China will definitely have people on the moon, while at the same time SpaceX will have an excuse not to make the existing time frame because of scope changes.

- brandonagr2 2y agoYou think it's competition from old space firms that has motivated SpaceX to move quickly and become the world leader in mass to orbit? It's a maniacal desire to achieve the goal of colonizing mars that motivates SpaceX to move quickly

How do you think Boeing got so crusty? I allege lack of competition is a key part of that.
