    Don’t need to read it. It’s because SpaceX has the cheapest, most reliable and available rocket in the world isn’t it?

      SpaceX also has the ability to launch from the west coast. ULA lost a couple of launches this year because their west coast pad is not ready yet.

        Falcon 9 Block 5 exploded only like 1 time (if we don’t count the expendable launches)

    Is it nepotism? It’s nepotism isn’t it?

      Technically, it’s cronyism
