Tell that to Blue Origin. SpaceX is where they are because of the people who invented, developed, tested, and reproduced their unique capabilities. If Musk couldn't keep those talented people, we'd be talking about their failures.
I said meaningful.
Show me Blue Origin’s number of successful launches and cost/lb of payload compared to SpaceX.
And the entire SpaceX is bullcrap. Did’t Musk say we needed to further improve efficiency by a factor of 1,000 (not 1,000%) to make the technology economically viable?
But we aren’t.
Space X has bested the best the world has to offer by a very wide margin. There is no equality, Blue Origin will be permitted to salvage NASA’s reputation.
The Glen will finally be tested to see if it can in fact actually liftoff and achieve orbit. The FAA granted permission in the final days of the Biden tyranny
