Not difficult to do when you only have a few launches in 20 years
Not really. Constellation was cancelled in 2010 and the Artemis program wasn't announced until 2019 which was around the time SpaceX's launch tempo was really picking up and the company had some major successes. SpaceX's ascendancy and huge accomplishments were a kick in the pants to NASA, so the government trotted out Artemis.
Check this out:
Major achievements of SpaceX include:
- The first privately funded, liquid-fueled rocket (Falcon 1) to reach orbit (September 28, 2008)
- The first privately funded company to successfully launch (by Falcon 9), orbit and recover a spacecraft (Dragon) (December 9, 2010)
- The first private company to send a spacecraft (Dragon) to the International Space Station (May 25, 2012)
- The first private company to send a satellite into geosynchronous orbit (SES-8, December 3, 2013)
- The first private company to send a probe beyond Earth orbit (Deep Space Climate Observatory, February 11, 2015)
- The first landing of a first stage orbital capable rocket (Falcon 9, Flight 20) (22 December 2015 1:39 UTC)
- The first water landing of a first stage orbital capable rocket (Falcon 9) (8 April 2016 20:53 UTC)
- The development of the most powerful operational rocket as of 2020 (Falcon Heavy, first flight February 6, 2018)
- The first private company to send humans into orbit (Crew Dragon Demo-2, May 30, 2020)
- Most orbital launches of a single rocket model without failure (120 Falcon 9 launches, April 21, 2022)
- The tallest, most powerful, and most massive rocket to ever launch (Starship first test flight, April 20, 2023)
only a paid troll would talk like this
youre a prostitute, ain't ya?
The last time a NASA rocket exploded was in 1986, and have had some 900 launches since then.
SpaceX launches commissioned by NASA haven't exploded because they were built to NASA's standards. Starship was built to Elon's standards, and are prone to explosion. As such, NASA appears to have dropped Starship from Artemis 3.
Yep, not even the Godking Trump trusts Elon's rockets.
BTW, what happened to that rocket??

NASA tends to use the same old and inefficient rocket technology over and over. They are not pioneering new technologies.
SpaceX is on the cutting edge of heavy lift rocket tech. That is serious competition to NASA which doesn’t want to be embarrassed by a brash upstart.
Unlike NASA, SpaceX is a risk taker that is pushing the entire rocket industry into the future with new technologies. Spacex is willing to do what others will not in order to create better rockets and much greater efficiencies.
For instance, could NASA have ever done anything like this? (Nope. They just let their booster stages drop into the ocean and sink to the bottom, never to be seen again…taxpayers be d*mned.)
“Starship flight test 1was the maiden flight of the integrated SpaceX Starshiplaunch vehicle. The vehicle became the most powerful rocket ever flown, breaking the half-century-old record held by the Soviet Union'sN1 rocket.
The launch was part of SpaceX's Starship development program, which follows an iterative and incremental approachinvolving frequent, and often destructive, test flights of prototype vehicles (meaning that vehicle destruction is actually a feature and not necessarily a failure).
Before the launch, SpaceX officials said they would measure the mission's success "by how much we can learn" and that various planned mission events "are not required for a successful test".
The flight was regarded as having furthered Starship's development, and a variety of public officials congratulated SpaceX, including NASA administrator Bill Nelson and European Space Agency Director General Josef Aschbacher.”

As an American, if this doesn’t warm your heart and fill you with pride then you probably have no soul.

NASA's Artemis II Live Views from Orion
Being new is worthless if it's inconsistent.
Besides the Artemis 2 uses solid rocket fuel which is more efficient than the Saturn V.
SpaceX has barely put the Spaceship in LEO, I'm still waiting on SpaceX getting to the moon let alone Mars. I'll eat my words when that happens in the next 4 years.
Lol bitch here thinks exploding rockets is "better rockets". But you're right: SpaceX rockets are more efficient... in blowing themselves up
Why does that flag have only 39 stars on it

Only in the boosters. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are the primary fuels for Artemis II.
SpaceX SAVED nasa’s arse by rescuing their astronauts who were stranded in the space station for more than nine months because NASA tech simply didn’t work.
SpaceX offers significantly lower launch costs compared to NASA, with Falcon 9 launches costing around $67 million, while NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) exceeds $2 billion per launch.
Cost Breakdown
- SpaceX Falcon 9:
- Launch Cost: Approximately $67 million per launch (as of 2023).
- Payload Capacity: Can carry about 22,800 kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
- Cost per Kilogram: Roughly $2,700/kg to LEO.
- Reusability: SpaceX's use of reusable rocket boosters significantly reduces costs, allowing for savings of about $15 million per launch when reusing boosters.
- NASA Space Launch System (SLS):
- Launch Cost: Estimated at over $2 billion per launch.
- Payload Capacity: The SLS can carry approximately 27,500 kg to LEO.
- Cost per Kilogram: About $70,000/kg to LEO, making it substantially more expensive than SpaceX.
It’s flapping in the air generated by Elon’s powerful forward momentum.

NASA’s Artemis II Crew Eclipses Record for Farthest Human Spaceflight (thank you Elon Musk for making this happen by shaking up NASA with stiff competition)
sauceFour astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II test flight around the Moon made history at 12:56 p.m. CDT on Monday, traveling 248,655 miles from Earth, surpassing the record for human spaceflight’s farthest distance previously set by the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. At its farthest point, crew inside the Orion spacecraft will have traveled about 252,756 miles, before looping back toward our home planet, setting the new record for human spaceflight.
Following their record achievement, crew provided brief, emotional remarks. The world heard from CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen aboard Orion:
“From the cabin of Integrity here, as we surpass the furthest distance humans have ever traveled from planet Earth, we do so in honoring the extraordinary efforts and feats of our predecessors in human space exploration. We will continue our journey even further into space before Mother Earth succeeds in pulling us back to everything that we hold dear. But we most importantly choose this moment to challenge this generation and the next to make sure this record is not long-lived.”
***Editors Note: In a real treat for the astronauts that likely exceeded anything they’ve experienced in their entire careers, they were allowed to speak directly to none other than the 45th and 47th President of the United States - Donald J. Trump.
