NASA vs SpaceX: How Do They Compare?

NASA and SpaceX, two very different companies, have come head to head in recent years, but what does this mean for the future of space travel? And more importantly, are they friends, or foes?

Humans have been roaming planet Earth for millenia, and it’s true to say we’re fairly familiar with our surroundings. Despite this, over 80% of our world’s oceans remain unmapped, unexplored, untouched. This may sound like an astonishing figure, but we know even less about space. Humans know less than 1% of what lies beyond our green planet, less, even, than a fraction of a percentage. Still, two companies come out on top as leading the way for future discoveries: NASA and SpaceX.

Nasa vs SpaceX: How Do They Compare?

NASA: Knowledge for Humanity.
SpaceX: Survival for Humanity.

There's no need to for two companys with the same goal and passion to compete against each other . So the fact that nasa and space x work together is amazing. They both have the same goal and supporting each other is key . Plus working together is great for business because if one company falls short there's always a helping hand . Good on space x and nasa for working together and supporting each other .

NASA is a customer while spaceX is a launch provider...
Of course spaceX is it's own customer for starlink and maybe for their mars city if they decide to use their own money...

I mean SpaceX hasn't been around for 20 years yet and is making exponential progress. Mars 2024 bb 😁

Nasa : We will reach Moon by 2024
Spacex : We will reach Mars by 2024

Let's not forget that without NASA and their extensive studying and knowledge there would be no SpaceX. Never forget those who pave our way. I do think SpaceX is doing unbelievable things and has great ideas for the future of humanity. They're both pretty awesome in my opinion.

Everytime he referred nasa as a company it pissed me off

[nandinidebi]

One is gathering knowledge and another is utilizing the knowledge for betterment. Thats good!

[joshuajoe]

I don’t think this is a fair comparison

There is a lot of incorrect information in this video.

[adamanderson]

70% of NASA's budget goes to figuring out new ways to define the borders of the solar system so that Voyager can 'Exit/leave the solar system' by some metric, every 2 years for the next 100 years.

So basically

NASA: old person

Spacex: 10 year old with imagination

You do know that the Shuttle is no longer around to fly anywhere?
