I don’t think I’m wrong at all to suggest that they have different philosophies when it comes to launching rockets. The reason behind that is worth talking about, but the fact remains that they have different philosophies. Personally, I would love for NASA to get funding exceeding SpaceX’s funds. We could certainly afford it. But no matter how much funding they get, Joe Public will get pissed about wasted tax dollars if NASA starts blowing up rockets. SpaceX, while partially publicly funded, is ostensibly a private company, which allows them some leeway in the eyes of the public when it comes to blowing up rockets.
SpaceX mishaps so far have not killed people. Will you still be giving them leeway when they do?
What kind of leeway do you think I’m giving SpaceX? What kind of leeway do you think I’m not giving NASA? Consider the fact that I’m morally consistent. Do you think you can answer your question yourself?
