Comment Redundancy (Score 1) 136

I get the need to make sure there are more than one launch provider for important NASA or DoD missions. Monopolies rarely works out for the customer over time.

But this is for the moon lander. We only need more than one provider if there is going to be a long term permanent presence on the moon. It seems a bit premature to plan for that now.

Unless you count Mexican Baja California too, driving the distance from the southern most part of California to the northern most part is less than 1500 KM.
San Diego to Seattle is 2000 KM. The entire length of the west coast is "small". Sure.

East to west Texas and North to South Texas are about about 1300KM. Your sense of scale is off.
