Trolling..he's trolling......-


look back not long ago within the last month i posted space X woud
have military customer-


These contracts are not for mainline DOD spacecraft. *They are for
test spacecraft. *And Spacex already had DOD contracts for the early
Falcon 1 flights.


What is the point of making the difference between the different types
of
Dod spacecraft ? What will you say when spacex launches a mainline
spacecraft ?
spacex is simply too competitive to be ignored

well ICBMs are custom purpose designed to just sit in silos forever
and launch in minutes with a armed warhead headed or the enemy....

this is the height of specialized,,,,

space x is building a all purpose launcher designed to cut costs. and
so far they are doing a great job
