Is this parody?
> Other companies will follow propped up by their governments.
It's cool to say but it hasn't happened. And rockets literally are, well, rocket science.

- lava_pidgeon 5mo agoIt does currently happen. In Germany alone there are 3 rocket companies + 1 space vehicle based on governmental programs. You can ask chatgpt for other projects. And yes, my pun which you didn't get just says: Building rockets isn't hard.
- leonidasrup 5mo agoBuilding large payload cheap dependable rockets capable of reaching orbit with high probability is hard.
- FireBeyond 5mo agoEven leaving aside the extremes of industrial espionage or "there's only so much you can learn from SpaceX TV", you can be sure that there are absolutely huge swathes of aerospace engineering education and commercially that are using a lot of SpaceX's work as a Cliff Notes of sorts to help improve their own odds.
- xdavidliu 5mo agoits not that they did not get your pun, its that they think building rockets is hard, and i tend to agree
- dismalaf 5mo ago> And yes, my pun which you didn't get just says: Building rockets isn't hard. No I get it except it's a ridiculous take. Building rockets is objectively hard. > In Germany alone there are 3 rocket companies + 1 space vehicle based on governmental programs. Literally none of them have reached orbit.
