    There’s 2 main reasons spacex gets shit. First one is Musk. Second one is the weird competitive thing SpaceX fanbois do where they criticise the shit out of all other rocket manufacturers and endlessly praise everything spaceX do.

        Same for Boeing, Rocketdyne, Northrop Grumman and the like. Why are they getting a pass?

          I don’t think Boeing is getting a pass. If anything, its become an even bigger laughing stock than SpaceX.

          As to the rest, most people forget they even exist. What has Rocketdyne even received credit for of late, ffs? What has Lockhead, for that matter?

            Space Launch System (SLS) is a joint project of Roketdyne, Boeing and Lockheed Northrop Grumman. My issue is that Boeing is not getting enough shit and the other two are not even known.

            edit, got Northrop and lockeed mixed up.
