The only advantage SpaceX has is that if NASA blew up a launchpad, there would be an investigation.
Everyone is used to Musk fucking shit up, and his defenders pretend it's really a success.
Your problem is with the politicians who control NASA funding, not NASA.
They don’t.
That’s the difference. NASA wants every launch to be a success.
Space x is willing to blow some shit up to test an idea.
I prefer the nasa method for rockets. Too much risk just blowing shit up in my opinion.
I disagree. I think NASA still innovates but they do it on things like propulsion and earth sciences.
SpaceX created the first successful Full Flow Stage Combustion Cycle Engine, so they're also innovative in the propulsion department.
