Considering SpaceX’s track record… I’m very eager for Elon and his other billionaire buddies to get on a rocket headed for Mars.
It has a fabulous track record, what are you talking about? Falcon 9 has had like 1 anomaly in the last 300 flights.
I’m referring to the rockets intended for travelling to the moon and beyond (primarily the Starship), which has already failed thrice, has innumerable issues and massive cost overruns.
That’s ridiculous, all launch vehicles have cost overruns. And judging Starship by a pre-production vehicle is also hilariously out of touch. Wait until they’re launching payloads and then make your point.
Look, I understand your point. And to be fair, they genuinely are reading new ground with reusable rockets. But not only are competitors catching up, cost overruns and time delays do matter in the context of NASA, considering how their budgets keeps getting negatively affected and the Artemis project is suffering setbacks. They don’t have the scope to tolerate what’s happening.
Sure, it might matter if there were any other alternative… like what, SLS? If you want to talk about cost overruns and time delays, look no further. That rocket costs over a billion per launch. Maybe New Glenn will surprise us?
If there were literally any other way, I’d want NASA to pick it for Artemis. Heck, some sort of lander system assembled in orbit from multiple Falcon Heavy launches would be my vote.
how much is spacex paying elon?
They can call it the "Trytanic" or something and we can all laugh when it gets hit by an icy comet
