Two Factoids

If you are following Bob Zimmerman at https://behindtheblack.com, none of this is “news.” It is great.

Musk start SpaceX around the same time as Bezos “started” Blue Origin. The SpaceX Falcon 9 is a fully reusable system, with a lot less trouble than Boeing. Some of the Falcon 9 rockets have flown 28 times. Eventually there will be a fleet of Falcon 9s that fly 40 times. Even the European Space Agency (ESA) has used SpaceX.

The StarLink system now makes enough $$$ to fund the Starship SuperHeavy test regimen. Bezos/Amazon brag about their internet satellite system, but.......

PS - Bob Zimmerman / behind the black is as unwoke as they come. Real science.
