Can Space X make the payloads?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

SpaceX can make the payloads, and they already do in the form of starlink.

NASA carries out research/experiments something that spaceX probably doesn't want to compete in since for the most part it does not pay

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Uh, basically no.

NASA has experiments to run, spaceX has no idea what science NASA is interested in doing. So having SpaceX make the payload doesn't really make a lot of sense.

So it sounds like they are codependent at this point. The bigger the nasa budget the better for space X.

I mean, that's always been the case. That's literally spaceX's primary job, putting things in space for NASA. It's the same for every launch provider in the US.
