What do you think is the most advanced private space company ( except Space X ) at the present time? Nowadays, private space company really succeeded and manufactures pretty good technology and space vehicle
Private space company is an interesting designation. Arianespace, ULA, and (to a lesser degree) Northrup Grumman all launch for private companies, but their bread and butter seems to be national space or defense agencies. Do they count as private?
That's been my response for a long time when people talk about SpaceX as the first private company to [name your favorite accomplishment]. But ULA (prior Lockheed Martin and Boeing launch services along with use of the Russian Proton rocket), Arianespace, and Northrum Grumman (including the former Orbital Sciences) are all private sector companies. They launch a lot of government payloads, but they do so on a contract basis, just as they do for their commercial customers. So how are they not "private space companies"? SpaceX today also does government launches. By "private" do you mean that they began in the space business with commercial contracts first and only took on government contracts later? In that case, Arianespace and Orbital Sciences would still count, if I've got my history right.
Which would I choose? I think I have to go with Rocket Lab because Blue Origin seems to be a lot more gradatim and a lot less ferociter than it was even a few years ago.
Ooh, learned two new words today. And I'm already already quibbling; having looked both up, I find that ferociter is an adverb, but you've employed it as an adjective. In Blue Origin's motto it modifies the (adjective) graditim.
I probably would have chosen Blue Origin of 5 years ago over Rocket Lab now.
That seems like a hard argument to make. If Blue Origin was more "advanced" five years ago than Rocket Labs is today, and Blue Origin has advanced since then, albeit gradually, how can they be the less advanced today?
I mean companies with interesting technology and space crafts. I've recently found one spacecraft from a private space company and I want you to discuss it and maybe you will share something interesting with me
Ah, but then there's still ambiguity. What's a "spacecraft"? In the satellite industry, the satellite is the spacecraft, and the rocket is just the "launch vehicle". So did you mean to include satellite manufacturers (possibly only those who had commercial customers before government ones)?
The thing about SpaceX and "The first private space company" is that it's actually just marketing hype. Hype that other startup companies have jumped on board with. While I respect what Musk has done, with Tesla as well as SpaceX, one of his greatest skills is self-promotion. In that respect, he's the Steve Jobs of those two industries.
