A good article at CNBC about how it’s disrupting the entire space industry:
“It’s not just the launch vehicles themselves that are disruptive,” Jurvetson said. “It’s the known, low price of launch and the fact that it could go lower still. It’s motivating entrepreneurs on the satellite side. You have everything from start-ups to nonprofit organizations that are thinking and executing on plans for space. That was unthinkable just a few years ago.”
Yup. Gonna start a revolution.
SpaceX isn’t about any one thing. It’s about all the things they’re working on (with more to come in the future.) This guarantees they will have failures. That’s a good thing.
Brings home how infuriating it is that so many politicians, including Republicans, are working against the competitive free market system, the only system that’s worked in creating the wealth America enjoys.
Best article about SpaceX I’ve seen in the mainstream press.
