Eric Berger, a senior space editor at Ars Technica and author of "Liftoff," teams up with Corey Fitz, creator of the TaikoNautica newsletter, to dive into the revolutionary impact of SpaceX. They discuss how SpaceX almost faced failure early on and the intense commitment of its engineers. The conversation also touches on the unique challenges posed by the traditional space contracts, contrasting U.S. approaches with China's rapidly evolving space industry, all while exploring the crucial role of government support in fostering innovation.
