Re: “Elon Musk Dominates Area Launch. Rivals Are Calling Foul” [May 28, Business]:
This extremely biased try to discredit Elon Musk and SpaceX conveniently omits the truth that, previous to SpaceX, NASA was solely reliant on Russia to move its astronauts.
As for presidency subsidies, SpaceX operates on the revenue from authorities enterprise, not the beneficiant handouts that Boeing, Northrop and others have come to depend upon. Our beloved Boeing can’t appear to get out of its personal method.
Reduce costs to gradual a competitor; require exclusivity in contracts; that sounds an awfully lot like that soiled, nasty system known as capitalism.
