They are making the impossible merely late. Which, you know, is still pretty fucking cool.

I’d love to see any other country or competitor catch a stainless steel rocket larger than the Statue of Liberty that was just cruising back to earth at sub orbital velocity. Everybody else is so far behind it’s not even funny.

Spacex is cool as shit. Screw the “skeptics” and haters. Some people have a complete lack of imagination.

No, they are making the possible very late.

Starship started development in 2012. SLS started development in 2011, New Glenn in 2012.

SLS flew in 2022 around the moon. New Glenn just flew, reaching orbit with an actual payload.

Starship hasn't reached orbit, the best they did was send a banana to the Indian ocean.

Remind me again how SpaceX is the fast company?
