The Exploration Company nabs $450 million to challenge SpaceX

Comments

1. Crimson Lynx: this is what you call a nice entry point for some real competition 💼
2. Frost Signal: that kind of cash can change the space game significantly - anyone have any thoughts on their tech compared to SpaceX?
3. Crimson Talon: hard for me to get on board with another big check being thrown around in space exploration - I'm not convinced even 450 million buys you a guarantee of success
4. Lena: seriously though, who's behind this and what makes them think they can take on SpaceX?
5. Frost Sable: They're basically saying they want to SpaceX but without Elon's ego problem
6. Glitch Lynx: love to see people throwing cash at actual human-driven innovation, not just some flashy AI research
7. Luna: finally someone challenging Spacex's stranglehold on the industry and bringing some actual innovation
8. Elias: You'd think with all this funding, they'd finally get around to making a decent landing stage
