Yes, because I applied for an engineering position with them and didn't get it.

I see your point. it just seems like if I was spending the money I would want the best chance to getting my payload where it needs to be.. And after two successful tests the consensus is that they are working on borrowed time.. |

How many Titans and Atlas rockets have CATOed? I've got no dog in this fight. Sounds like you have a very dull axe and have chosen a dolomite whetstone to rectify that problem. |

I agree it took NASA many many many tries to get to orbit.. but they were also the first Americans to attempt this, not just replicating what has been done.. I was referring to them being hacks because a good portion of the staff has been fired for doing a less than stellar job.. at other aerospace companies including the director of florida launch operations at SpaceX |

What is your connection to the aerospace industry and or NASA? |

Ok LOXDOX I'm going to ask the question. What is your connection to the aerospace industry and or NASA? No immediate personal connection between NASA and myself i do have a stake in the fact that I have grown up in the business between five uncles and three aunts working on the NASA side and my father working for ULA where I am starting to join him.. I guess it just breaks down to a wanting to look after the family frame of mind |

Did you know trade alliances exist in nearly every other field? But you want to get sole sourcing of government contracts because that is very easy. If there were no other supplier of AR15s but Colt, we would be stuck with screw pivot pins, large diameter fire control group pivot pins, sear blocks and cut-away carriers. It was the competetion in the AR15 market which forced Colt to discontinue these abominations. Who wins because of SpaceX? The citizens of the United States. I guess you didn't make cheerleader tryouts in high school either. |

You do know that NASA was the one thing we got right in encouraging investment... velcro... Tang... space pens... microcomputers... you know that thing your using to bitch about it all

Hate the game, not the player.
SpaceX is the leader in COTS. Right behind is ATK. Which is the parent of CCI, Speer, Federal etc. And is a giant compared to SpaceX. Lock-Mart-Boe, also know in sanitized form as United Launch Services, isn't a participant in CRS... How is that axe sharpening venture with the dolomite whetstone? Hint, Mohs hardness of 4 isn't going to work. Try something over 7...preferably 9. |

SpaceX may appear to be the best choice in COTS but there is plenty of talks on the table with ULA still about providing heavy lift aspects that Spacex is far from.. Never underestimate the governments ability to come out of left field in a hurry with a whole new idea.. |

Space-X created a man rated launch vehicle, included the first new American made kerolox engine in living memory in under 8 years for under a billion dollars. They are basically our only hope for significantly reducing the cost of reaching space.
They represent what the free market can do. The fact that you 'hate them' means either you work for a legacy contractor that is going to loose their shirt or you don't understand what they have accomplished. Either way sit down and shut up. |

So you are basically just supporting your family and not looking at things objectively? Gotcha, carry one.

I don't see any reason to hate SpaceX. Seems like to me they also have competition from Orbital Sciences on government contracts.
Hell, we're trying to get our foot in the door with both companies for sub contract work. |

SpaceX has impressed me since they started being successful instead of just blowing things up.
ULA is impressive too. May the competition begin! |

I live on the space coast, while I do not work at the KSC, my father, and 75% of my church works there, and this is what I've heard from them on the issue.
space x is about as independent and private as NASA. |
