It is rather incredible how dominant Falcon 9 is in the current launch market.

    SpaceX became dominant in the launch market the same wat Amazon became dominant in the delivery market.

    By using massive investor capital to undercut the competition by operating under cost.

    It’s not really amazing at all, it’s perfectly predictably. The other parties need to turn a profit, SpaceX/Starlink doesn’t, so they’re cheaper.

      Probably shouldn’t be commenting on a 3-month-old post on a memes forum, but this seems highly inaccurate to me. Do you have a source for it?
