SpaceX launches rockets multiple times per week (just here in Florida) at a great price and has an almost unbelievable success record. Second place isn’t even close.
Elon Musk is a nut job, but for anyone that needs to put anything in orbit SpaceX is really the best option.
As I understand it, It’s also the company he has the least control of.
I personally think that it is incredibly irresponsible to give musk any control over the deployment of critical infrastructure after his stunts in Ukraine. What guarantees do we have that he is not backdooring these satellites while they are in his posession so that he can shutdown Galileo on a whim in the same way he did with starlink?
Hmm, I don’t know, all his companies are just utter scams so I don’t understand why anyone would trust them with anything.
