>Assuming their 20 billion budget is doubled what can we expect for those money?
Anything is possible! Perhaps even a flight!
The only thing SpaceX has shown everyone is how they are one of the most dishonest companies in the history of private space travel. Seriously each launch following the Falcon family as they “revolutionize the launch industry” has been indistinguishable from the rest. Aside from the meme landings, the company’s only party trick has been to overwork and underpay its employees to reduce launch costs, all to make the mythical “full and rapid reuse” seem effective.
Perhaps the die was cast when Musk vetoed the idea of ambitious yet realistic missions like Red and Grey Dragon; he made sure the company would never be mistaken for an innovative force to anything or anybody, just ridiculously questionable government contracts for his companies. SpaceX might be profitable (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-NASA in its refusal of wonder, science and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the landings are cool though
"No!"
The camerawork is dreadful; the landings of the charred boosters are boring. As I watch, I noticed that every time a Falcon 9 lands, Musk said either “self-sustaining civilization on Mars” or “imagine if you had a 747 and you threw it away after one flight.”
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time one of those phrases was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Musk's mind is so governed by clichés that he has no other style of thinking. Later I read a poorly-written news story on SpaceX by some fat web blogger. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching these launches now, surely they will work for SpaceX in the future and they too can have paychecks based off of government handouts." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you are a SpaceX fan, you are, in fact, trained to be a mindless supporter of government-funded billionaires.
Sure it could be saved
But is it realistic to expect 75% of the poeple who work at NASA to be fired & replaced?
Is it realistic for them to dump almost all their overpaid contractors? Is it realistic to expect lynchings of bureaucrats ?
Nope
The most likely turn out is that white civilization will simply end, as if it never existed, as our race & genetics vanish from the Earth
Then 50 years from now the Chinks will destroy all their space ships/rockets, never leaving their country again.
With additional 20 billion dollars NASA will be able to form a special commission tasked with the goal of finding out what can be done with additional 20 billion dollars.
50 years and we cant even match let alone exceed that size.
As time goes on it seems we are either under a spell of incompetence or large scale occupancy of space just doesn't comply with economic and physical reality.
>Government funded
Kinda like ULA?
Space X is competition. Competition is good.
SpaceX is a sad excuse for an eccentric billionaire's personal playpen.
