RIP United Launch Alliance

once spacex launches NROL next month, not even military contracts will be beyond their reach.

the market will have to adapt or get completely destroyed by spacexs ultra low costs

i think it might make sense to not rush a rocket, but instead have like 2-4 rockets and then that way there's more uptime
and i'm guessing each rocket can be inspected like an assembly line, same people checking the same bits each time instead of having the check the whole rocket (since there'll be like 3 grounded being approved/prepped for next launch and 1 in the air)

yeah i doubt theyd try to stick to always putting them on a 24 hour cycle, but if they have the potential to do that it means its streamlined to the point that regular daily or weekly space lauches is possible

the thing is, according to sources on /r/spacex, they are planning to have a refueling station on the barge so that the stage can fly back to cape Canaveral then refly once the launch cadence gets higher
