    Why can’t I just enjoy the cool rockets without having to be reminded of all of the controversial shit surrounding them? Fuck’s sake I hate this bastard…

      The whole point of commercial rockets was that there was supposed to be competition. ULA’s new Vulcan Centaur is barely competition for the Falcon 9; they have to sell themselves on being mature players who can hit deadlines better than SpaceX. Then there’s a small list of up and coming players that haven’t proven themselves yet. Oh, and Bezos is still fucking around with his rocket company.

      Good news is that at least there’s some kind of path that looks better than NASA’s own SLS.
