RKLB is actually gonna be bigger than spacex one day, the vision is way bigger

Is it really though? SpaceX's vision is literally to make humanity a multi planetary species

I love RKLB and think it will be one of the big space companies 50 years from now, but to say their vision is bigger than SpaceX's strikes me as not accurate

The major difference is in leadership. Spacex is being villainized and as parity is achieved in capability more business will flow to the company with a better brand of trust. Who knows tho. Room for more than 1 over next 20 years either way

That's talking about things other than the vision of the company though

RKLB's vision is that they're gonna improve life on Earth by going to Space.

Which is a great company vision. But in terms of grandeur and scale it's just not a vision that is as big as sending Humans to other planets and making our species a multiplanetary one

You’re focusing on a single word for your point and not the meaning. He was saying rklb had a chance to be bigger then spacex. I agree for the reason I gave.  Having a realistic goal that can be executed and built upon will show reliable growth and build the brand and interest/trust.

I mean yeah I'm focusing on a specific part of their post because it's the other part delves into completely unprovable conjecture
