Spacex is a service provider, there is no competition between them and NASA even though so many people on the outside think or want there to be. I'm glad the visitors center is helping with communicating these things. |

Musk replied “yes” to a tweet asking if shock-absorbing feet would be added to the fins, so I guess he does really plan to fly it. However, I still say it looks very crudely constructed for something that’s going to fly, even if it travels no more than 100 feet in altitude I love the armchair rocket scientists of arfcom. You're right, spacex has no clue what their doing. |
