NASA was doing what they’re doing 40 years ago.

The landing model they are talking about is a copy of what NASA was doing 20 yrs ago and the craft looks almost identical so they were probably given a lot of data.

Sure glad our tax dollars are paying for this politically connected company.

From my understanding, they investigated and settled on designs that NASA rejected decades ago. NASA was not doing this 20 years ago, they were choosing not to do this, and went with the ultimately more expensive shuttle design. SpaceX has taken the design and is making a lot of progress in a short amount of time. Would you prefer that the cheapest access to space be from Chinese rockets?
