  1. No, there are other reasons as well. I’m not gonna fight with people about it. My mind is made up. You are entitled to your opinion, and so am I. I don’t really see why it’s a big deal lol. I’ve always been a ULA fan, and that’s just how I am
  2. I came here Too late, unfortunately. @Spaceman.Spiff ? or @OrdinaryKerman?
  3. Knew someone would ask, lol. Not a fan of most super-heavy lifters. that includes Starship. I know it’s iconic, but personally I don’t really like Saturn v either. Also Personally, I don’t really support Spacex that much because I feel that they are praised as a completely commercial company that receives no funding from the feds, but that’s not the case.
  4. Love- Delta IV/III/II, Athena I & II, Vulcan and Minotaur Like- Atlas V/III/II/I, Antares, New Glenn, New Shepard, electron, Astra 1/2/3, Titan 1-4 & 23g, Minotaur-C, and Firefly alpha Meh- Falcon 1/9 Hate: starship/BFR, Saturn 1B.
  5. Gilly. If you call it Jilly, There’s something wrong with you imo
  6. I have been really busy recently, but expect a new release this week.
  7. Yeeeeessss I second this. parts for rockets 1 and 2 possibly?
  8. @OrdinaryKerman I’m really liking your “Ordinary things” mod. the APAS compatibility patch is gonna come in handy when I build my ISS replica! just realised I was the 11,100th reply lol. Can we get to 11,111?
  9. Is that APAS from Benjee? It doesn’t look like it to me, probably because his sticks out more
  10. The first launch didn’t go *to mars* technically. I should have just said “earth orbits”, instead of LEO.
  11. Both have pros and cons, but the Falcon heavy argument doesn’t really apply, considering most FH contracts are LEO contracts
  12. This brings a tear to my eye. I wish it would have flown lol
  13. *EXTREME BIAS WARNING* I agree completely. Spacex just doesn’t have the capability to do that at the moment. They can’t even get many contracts from the AF because of vertical integration requirements (which they do not fit at this time.) as for the specialization, that’s what I think as well. Falcon is “one size fits all,” and ULA has many different sizes of delta/atlas for every mission you could possibly think of. Spacex’s Reusable rockets are good for cheap and quick launches. Things like GPS, for example. if you want something in a wonky orbit, or you want to send a mission far out into the solar system, pick ULA’s expendables, as they are better for that. Just look at how many missions spacex has sent outside of LEO. One? Two? not saying that they can’t, but the government probably wants to pick the company that has more experience doing that kind of thing.
  14. Coming from an *admittedly* EELV fan, I must accept defeat. falcon is much cheaper to Re-fly than any (new) Legacy EELV vehicle. that's why they are re-usable.
