Default "Space-X'd" (s---- rocket explodes)

Maybe they should be making contact explosives instead?

More like exotic supersonic fireworks. Cowboys in space!

What a wonderful example of American free enterprise! These privatised
exploding rockets are just so much better than previous NASA spacecraft
most of which actually got into Earth orbit successfully.

NASA launch vehicles are not generally built by NASA, but by private companies with the expertise to do so.

The British have been out to lunch for the most part WRT space flight activities, having finally launched their first satellite on their own launch vehicle in 1971, two years after Apollo 11 and fourteen years after Sputnik.

Can you say Beagle 2 ?
