  1. ​ @cowpotpi3 they go to orbit more frequently than any other company ever has, they are the reigning expert on that, so your barb falls flat. If you are talking about the test flight of Super Heavy, it actually was in orbit, but they specifically planned the trajectory so it would not stay in orbit, but return in the desired empty part of the ocean, so that part of the flight worked perfectly. Getting to orbit is not the hard part, getting the rocket to to make a controlled reentry is the hard part, which is why no one else has done this, and so a few test flights is not a bad thing. And yes, it's taking longer than they hoped, but it's not as far behind as the Boeing Starliner! Lol

  2. ​ @adamc5057 and the rest of their launches are NASA astronauts, classified spy satellites, and major commercial missions, and they launch more of those than any other company as well. Also, currently the ONLY US based human space flight company, (because Boeing keeps screwing their attempts up), and Go To launch provider for other governments and countries since the EU launch providers are having issues, as is ULA.
