    They don’t.

    That’s the difference. NASA wants every launch to be a success.

    Space x is willing to blow some shit up to test an idea.

    I prefer the nasa method for rockets. Too much risk just blowing shit up in my opinion.

      I disagree. I think NASA still innovates but they do it on things like propulsion and earth sciences.

        They are slow but it is by design. They want things to be safe. Some say they over engineer things but I think when we are talking about people, that is needed.

          When we’re talking about people dying, SpaceX has a better record than NASA

        SpaceX created the first successful Full Flow Stage Combustion Cycle Engine, so they’re also innovative in the propulsion department.
