    How many commercial technical failures and logistical failures is adequate for you?

    Maybe fewer or equal than there were with government run NASA? Starliner turned out to be a safe spacecraft that was recalled due to abundance of caution. Which leaders at NASA were far more comfortable doing, since it reflects badly on Boing instead of them (which is a good thing).

    On the other hand, while NASA run the launches itself, how many astronauts died in disasters?

    You are seriously going to pretend one issue is somehow a failure of privatized spaceflight? A nonfatal issue that caused two astronauts to chill on the space station for longer than expected, most of it voluntarily?

      Nuance isn’t allowed here on lemmy. You will hate capitalism or you will be silenced. You will hate privatization, or you will be ostracized.
