Free enterprise without government bureaucrats except for permits - 727Sky - 09-25-2023

Amazing what can be accomplished when the government and bureaucrats get out of the way !  I had no idea they were launching so many rockets on a weekly basis.

Quote:What SpaceX just did in Florida shocked NASA....

SpaceX has shocked the entire rocket industry with everything at Starbase, from its rapid pace of building, testing, fixing, upgrading, and expanding. And while everyone is glued awaiting Starship 25/Booster 9 and the FAA's response, does anyone take notice? Right in the heart of NASA, SpaceX is also creating something so terrible that it overwhelms all competitors, even Nasa is mind-blowing.

Stay tuned as we dive and more in this episode of Alpha Tech! Starbase is the world's first true spaceport located in South Texas. It is home to SpaceX's next-generation Starship rocket factory and launch pads and is known as the "Gateway to Mars" among the space community. This location will serve as the launch site for dozens, if not hundreds, of Starship flights every month. The scale of the facility at Starbase is unparalleled, exceeding the capabilities of any other rocket company. Even NASA, the largest government-run space agency in the United States, cannot match the complexity of the launch infrastructure in Texas. What SpaceX just did in Florida shocked NASA...Never seen that before!

I just want to make a note here that if it keeps going the way things have been going within a few years there wont even be a NASA anymore because they wont have enough qualified people to run it. SpaceX (and others) are poaching all their employees and contractors left and right offering them double and sometimes triple their current salaries.  BIL is one of the top dawgs on the Artemis projects for a while now pretty much by defaulting up the ladder due to all of the employee poaching.  

Just thought it was an interesting insider side note!
