Blue Origin is great and if we had nothing to compare it with, we'd be incredibly impressed with what they built, having raised just $30B.
But let's just use BO to put SpaceX's capital efficiency into perspective;
— SPCX invented the orbital class reusable booster
— flew + landed it like 650 times
— built Starlink; 10M+ customers
— built Dragon; launched like 60 humans to the ISS
— got ~95% of the way to making a fully reusable Starship operational
— acquired xAI, positioning them to do Starmind
All of this on just $10B worth of private equity
Like what the fuck
