Can anyone compete with SpaceX?

[C130]

With the launch of NROL-76 it signifies the end of ULA monopoly on U.S military launches. I doubt SpaceX will be launching those billion dollar KH-11 spy sats anytime soon.

so how is state run space companies to compete against SpaceX??

Ariane 5 can't compete
Ariane 6 cuts cost in half, still not as cheap as Falcon 9
Proton-M+ can't compete
Angara 5 can't compete
Long March 3,5,7 can't compete
PSLV XL and GSLV III can't compete
Atlas V can't compete

only way they survive is if the state heavily subsidizes each commercial launch for a loss.

Have NASA hire Neil deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye the Science guy to make Space sexy again.

Seriously 1/2 cent budget? If Science is the future we're screwed.

With Trump's new budget I wouldn't put my hopes in it.

So yes looks like Space X will be the leader in space exploration for quite some time at the minimal of 4 years and maximum of 8.

brother I agree with you, but I hate modern Bill Nye. guy is so smug and a SJW.

Trump needs to up NASA budget to 1% to 1.5%, but also cancel the SLS and ISS, both are a waste of NASA money Put that money into SpaceX to develop ITS, and to build space probes, telescopes, and a moon and mars base.

we just waste money on stupid stuff.

There is a saying if you have the money , the Engineers will build it

 

[KAL-EL]

Well not now maybe, but Starfleet Command will in the future.

Cancelling ISS will be a diplomatic shitfest...we are stuck with it.

no

You can see the gimbaled engines moving back and forth.

 

[Gothic]

yes
the russian soyuz program , which space X is based upon , can compete if commercialized

 

[Ultima Thule]

indias ISRO offers the cheapest & has the safest track record , India is already the top market for commercial launches.


So yes , India can , but isn't interested in exploring manned missions for commercial package like space X.


butthurt

you are nowhere near spaceX in the term technology and resources
If you have a butthurt use this on your butts

its a pain killer

Lol space x isn't spread as vast as isro or other space organisations ,its driven for commercial market , India aims in orbital &military aspects .

In terms of orbital launches ISRO>>> space X , our pslv is fraction of the price

ISRO isn't intrested in exploring that commercial aspect to launch carriers of 7000kgs .

This can't not changed the fact kid that your ISRO is nowhere near the spaceX
SpaceX is Giant

Lol keep dreaming any respectable space organisation can do what spacex is doing , they don't because its needs more funds , spacex has only 1 angle, unlike the others.

After reading on this forum why pakistan didnt join SAARC Satellite program, I guess SUPARCO can compete and beat SPACEX in very near future, I am not sure if its already done but I am positive about it based on inputs from Pakistani friends at PDFhttp://suparco.gov.pk/downloadables/03-Pakistans-Space-Programme.pdf
