    The only bad thing I see about using SpaceX rockets is that the company belongs to Elon Musk. I’d prefer we had our own reusable rockets instead of Ariane 6, but the Falcon 9s have pretty good service records, while other company’s rockets don’t even have individual service records yet.

      I’m wondering if I prefer my taxes to pay musk, or just outsource the US or something and have them launch our satellites lol.

      Depending on the difference, even if slightly more expensive, going with the US would be preferable imo.

      I’d rather pay a country than a company from a filthy rich insane person.
