SpaceX built Starlink, not the government. What is your point. SpaceX is the launch provider for the government and is the cheapest one.

SpaceX is the cheapest and most reliable launch provider for the US government. Also SpaceX put an end to most cost+ contracts that largely benefits US taxpayers.

It wasn’t a weather related scrub.

Nothing. There are no cost+ government contracts on Starship.
Additionally this wasn’t a rocket failure, the rock will just lift off at different time. The only loss is in the boiled off propellants.

40 second mark is the point they can hold and decide if they go for launch or want to try at different time.
Pretty usual for the industry.

SpaceX is well managed and actually saves taxpayers money (compared if gov were to launch its own payloads).

Government tried to have multiple contractors for space related things but those simply failed or became money pits. SpaceX is one of the few space companies that is well managed and capable to achieve government goals.

I see you are a marxist. Socialism won’t work. You can believe me. We tried to implement it in our country.
Socialism = no goods to consume = empty shelves and long queues

The issue is Keynesian/MMT model dominance, not capitalism.

Spaceships don’t go straight up - that would be inefficient.
They perform circularish maneuvers as it’s better way to fight gravity😉

They knew other companies had good lobbyists and relaying on single vehicle will be considered risky by congress pressuring them to allocate greater funds towards Artemis program.
It’s just politics.

It was accepted in first round (even though it was least suitable option from the three accepted) as a backup due to its low cost, and SpaceX being aerospace industry leader.
But due to budget reduction NASA did a brilliant stunt. They picked ONLY SpaceX.

What are you taking about? Starship development eats all the money they get from NASA. They cannot use HLS money to finance Starlink.
Starship won HLS program due to administration change and NASA budget shrinking.

Meanwhile SpaceX has two such systems under development- Starlink and Starship.

Most missions is Starlink, but claiming it’s the only “reliable customer” (which btw is not - most such constellations went bankrupt) is simply false.

It’s hard to be profitable if you have such complex system as Starship under development.
Are the comparable companies like BlueOrigin (New Glenn under development) profitable? I would guess they are not.

SpaceX has multiple reliable customers, including NASA (resupply missions and astronaut transfers to ISS + all the other stuff).

SpaceX is a joke that managed 96 orbital launches last year and 10 launches in January this year.
