For people who need internet in remote locations
For the scientific research on ISS
For climatology satellites
Falcon 9 is currently the most efficient way to get on orbit, and it flies about twice a week

listen I don't like the guy for political reasons as well, but I can see that majority SpaceX contracts for Dragon, Falcon and Starshield (military starlink) are extremely successful, as opposed to Boeing Starliner, which cost NASA more than Dragon

While NASA definitely had some requirements, the Dragon spacecraft (and Falcon 9 rocket it rides on) are designed and operated by SpaceX engineers (not musk personally of course)

Yes they got the HLS contract, which was quie a while ago, but not any more if i'm not mistaken

Reminder that the Crew Dragon has never failed and is reliably servicing the ISS

In fact, NASA isn't paying any more money for Starship now.
The goverment is buying Falcon 9 flights, which are very reliable

Can you please remind me of the Falcon 9 success rate?
Was it 99.39% or 99.77%?

Did you know that Falcon 9 launches and lands perfectly fine about twice a week?
While the Honda rocket is nice, its toy-sized and for testing only (cannot go to orbit).

Vast majority of the contracts are for Falcon 9, which is very reliable. That's where SpaceX makes money.
NASA did pay to develop the Artemis lander (modified starship), but the whole Artemis program is fucked so idk
I don't think they can get contracts for starship until it's somewhat operational

Falcon 9 is very successful, and it had problems during development too
