Why the hell would they voluntarily give a deal to a well known con man/scammer? Do they not read the news? This is a pretty big deal so the decision makes them look really bad and incompetent.

SpaceX launches rockets multiple times per week (just here in Florida) at a great price and has an almost unbelievable success record. Second place isn’t even close.

Elon Musk is a nut job, but for anyone that needs to put anything in orbit SpaceX is really the best option.

Hmm, I don’t know, all his companies are just utter scams so I don’t understand why anyone would trust them with anything.
