SpaceX is number one, you belittle incredible accomplishments across the board. If it’s so easy, why didn’t anyone else do it at this pace/scale? Why doesn’t anyone else do it at their scale today?

The hardest thing to achieve is delivering when anyone has access to the same technologies, resources etc. He delivered, the others didn’t. Especially NASA, by comparison.

Be fair and give the man the props where the props are due.



Because NASA could accord to pay one start up.

I belittle nothing but landing rockets wasn't a new idea and wasn't seen as impossible.

It was an evolutionary step and that's what I acknowledge.

But people treat Musk as if he single handedly built a Mars colony.


The sheer volume and rate of successful launches is revolutionary in itself.
