danyork, Good piece in the NY Times about Elon Musk’s #Starlink but it only lightly mentions WHY he is in this dominant position - #SpaceX is the only one reliably launching rockets at scale into #LEO right now!
- United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Vulcan Centaur is repeatedly delayed
- Arianespace’s Ariane 6 has been delayed for years now
Neither may first launch until 2024, & then they have to grow to launch at the scale needed.
