Nope. Not propaganda.

You have probably guessed that SpaceX is putting more payload tonnage into orbit than anyone else.

Elon Musk said to his employees (and I believe him) that 90% of all tonnage being sent into space currently is sent by SpaceX.

When Starship begins sending payloads, that number is going to jump to 99%. (His words)

Currently, that remaining 10% is sent by the non-SpaceX USA, China, Russia, and a spate of others.

You’re right. I have less faith in NASA. Musk and his people are getting things done. They are what NASA was in the 60s.

I guess I could say that SpaceX has more of the “Right Stuff” than NASA does, now.
