So there is a big race to build the next SpaceX. And I can assure you building rockets isn't rocket science. Other companies will follow propped up by their governments.
Is this parody?
> Other companies will follow propped up by their governments.
It's cool to say but it hasn't happened. And rockets literally are, well, rocket science.
And yes, my pun which you didn't get just says: Building rockets isn't hard.
No I get it except it's a ridiculous take. Building rockets is objectively hard.
> In Germany alone there are 3 rocket companies + 1 space vehicle based on governmental programs.
Literally none of them have reached orbit.
This is mind bogglingly wrong.
“[Rocket Science] looks hard and is harder than it looks” is the classic line. Anyone in the industry will tell you how extremely difficult rockets are.
Look at Blue Origin, all the money in the world and it still blows up on the pad. Look at ULA, largest aerospace companies in the world with institutional aerospace talent, backed by nearly unlimited government funding and is nowhere near a reusable rocket, decades behind SpaceX.
You are letting politics blind you to reality.
