Lockheed's been building spacecraft for decades, including some that failed (which is where most lessons are learned.) SpaceX is almost completely inexperienced. Yeah, but manned is a whole other ball of wax, if for no other reason than the TPS and recovery systems. Manned is a whole 'nother layer of complication on top of spacecraft systems, agreed. But if Lockheed still has a lot to learn (as you imply), then SpaceX has a huge climb ahead of *them*. Brian |
