Going to orbit around the moon*

Starship is the lunar lander

Boeing's Starliner is in the same situation. Let's go with operating spacecraft then since technically any rocket can carry people if you shove them in the payload bay (loss of life may occur)

Why is the government buying launches a bad thing? SpaceX provides a service that they want. The money would just have gone to Lockheed and Boeing otherwise

That hasn't launched crew yet so not in its operational phase.

Saturn V was cancelled many many years ago. Falcon 9 is the only currently capable vehicle.

Idk I'm just a space nerd but it seems to have worked very well for rocketry. Is there any rocket that's better than falcon or Starship?

You seem to have fallen for misinformation. Eric Berger, an accredited journalist, wrote a book on the early days of SpaceX. It's called "Liftoff" and I recommend you educate yourself instead of trusting random internet strangers.

Multiple key employees of SpaceX have repeatedly proclaimed that Musk is indeed the chief engineer and has an active role in the company. I also think it's interesting to draw parallells to other similar space startups such as Blue Origin, Armadillo Aerospace, Rocket Lab. What made SpaceX successful while they failed? It is not money because Bezos has plenty of that.

If you want hear more about Elon and engineering I can recommend the interviews and corresponding starbase tour with "The Everyday Astronaut". There are many hours Elon talking rocketry and explaining how it works in depth.

NASA chose SpaceX for their moon lander so there is still hope 😃 They will make a strong team 💪

I am NOT gsa. This is slander

Most intelligent Elon hater
