Same for Boeing, Rocketdyne, Northrop Grumman and the like. Why are they getting a pass?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think Boeing is getting a pass. If anything, its become an even bigger laughing stock than SpaceX.

As to the rest, most people forget they even exist. What has Rocketdyne even received credit for of late, ffs? What has Lockhead, for that matter?

Space Launch System (SLS) is a joint project of Roketdyne, Boeing and ~~Lockheed~~ Northrop Grumman. My issue is that Boeing is not getting enough shit and the other two are not even known.

edit, got Northrop and lockeed mixed up.

Maybe don't take away NASA funding and give it to any of them?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, but NASA does not actually make rockets anymore. All of these companies get money from NASA not instead of NASA.
