It's an unproven claim regardless

It's not a rehash. It's an article, like wired but worse. That leaves you worse off for having read it.

We also know that of they wanted GPS on until they landed they could have got it.

There are alternate navigation systems from SpaceX, OneWeb etc in the pipeline.

These tests are likely older than you and occur on a scheduled regular basis. As the report pointed out, you can even have the tests stop if you can't fly without GPS (i.e you're u…

To dismiss the fact that this has been happening in the area long enough that people who were born when it started have kids is motivated reasoning.

Blue Origin requires refuelling. Refuelling Isn't a requirement for most of the work they plan to do.

It may actually just show a gap in knowledge. I'm sure you've heard of trade secrets before

It's very relevant. It took over 10 years for anyone to land of an orbital launcher after it had been demonstrated. i.e even though it had been proven it was possible, it was still…

Shotwell also allegedly got a $1B (in cash) retention bonus around the Max-9 debacle when both Boeing and Blue Origin wanted her. She's more well compensated than the joke millions…

People talk about the industry like there was a time the government built it's rockets, then SpaceX stole money that was meant for NASA and now NASA can't build rockets anymore.

There's competition. So there's already evidence. Don't forget NASA has its traditionally built vehicle SpaceX also has benefits from its volume. So yes, if you buy in bulk and you…

Sometimes you can buy cheaper than build. Many launchers in several countries, SpaceX is the cheapest in its sector.
