It could be real bust-your-chops work at times, and many long hours (days, sometimes), on-console or running equipment, but we got 'er done.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-50268212999098466292019-10-12T19:20:06.589-07:002019-10-12T19:20:06.589-07:00Sad.Sad.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-79033777200214243322019-10-11T11:16:28.911-07:002019-10-11T11:16:28.911-07:00"Smaller, Faster, CHEAPER" was the mantr..."Smaller, Faster, CHEAPER" was the mantra of all these little companies back when I was in the biz.<br /><br />Some panned out, some didn't, and then SpaceX comes along, and totally upsets the apple cart.<br /><br />I don't have a clue what's going to happen, but it'll be interesting to see who's still around in five years or so.<br /><br />As to Sea Launch, I'm doubtful they'll ever launch again.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-18871419709047669692019-10-11T06:57:35.484-07:002019-10-11T06:57:35.484-07:00I don't see how the small sat launch business ...I don't see how the small sat launch business can survive without a massive shakeout.
