		kchoudhu on Nov 3, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why America Needs India’s Rockets I don't object to the respondent: it's true, SpaceX has broken out of earth orbit -- but that's still a far cry from deploying to Mars. My point stands: SpaceX needs to get to Mars once before we can start calling them serious interplanetary contenders.

I'm not sure why it's important to debate whether or not a company is a "serious interplanetary contender", but I do think it's important to get the facts correct.
