>They're moving fast and breaking things.
This is different than their landing tests
We've been delivering stuff to space for nearly 70 years
At some point launch failures need to be considered completely abnormal. Arianespace and ULA have already demonstrated its possible.

>There's basically nothing on Falcon 9 that wasn't invented in the current millenium.
You're confusing "invented" and "engineered"
The only new thing that SpaceX truly invented is their Dragon heat shield material.

>Atlas V is Zenit/Centaur, American 50s tech on top of Soviet 80s tech, with 1960s ICBMs strapped on the sides. Very mature. Very expensive. Very boring. Not interesting to talented engineers.
ULA is working with 1/4 the capital that spacex is and they're rolling out a new rocket less than 3 years from now.

>You work on a thing like that if you only care about a steady paycheck.
You're implying that people at ULA or Arianespace don't take pride in their work or enjoy their work?
Top kek, what a moron.

You sound like a salty idiot who got their SpaceX application rejected and is too proud to work anywhere else.
