Can anyone compete with SpaceX?

[Ultima Thule]

Lol keep dreaming any respectable space organisation can do what spacex is doing , they don't because its needs more funds , spacex has only 1 angle, unlike the others.

I would say to your comment, what is the Budget of ISRO and compare with SpaceX,, they have a contract from NASA, US military, and thy are planning to land lander for Europa in future, and whats your

you are nowhere near spaceX in the term technology and resources

ISRO is far more diverse portfolio than SpaceX, which is a launch service provider

Anyway, it does seem that we can compete on launchers, given this.

Are you an absolute idiot or do you do this just to annoy people ?

SpaceX don't have to build communication/ Earth observation satellites or undertake Space Science missions by itself. They are a launch service provider like Arianespace/ Airbus Safran.

What are you laughing about spacex funds are about 1 billion $ , lower than India, china , Europe.

isro have contracted dozens of nations , we made 5 billion $ of profit in 5 years by launching satellites for others.

ISRO is planning put orbiters on Venus , sun & mars and a lander on the moon in the next 5 years.

They have bigger intention than ISRO

What the hell is 'intention' ?

Than talk then

PSLV is designed launch small satellites and a lot of micro satellites. Falcon 9 isn't even competing against that...I shouldn't have mentioned PSLV.

GSLV Mk III costs how much?? I would guess $40 to $50 million?? which is indeed cheaper than Falcon 9 FT, but it can only lift 4tonnes to GTO compared to Falcon 9 5.5 tonnes reusable, that 1.5 tonne difference is huge since a lot of satellites are in the 4.1 to 5.5 tonnes range.

Falcon 9 costs little more than $60 billion, whereas LVM 3 (4.5 tonne to GTO) costs around $40 million.

Falcon 9 can do 5.5 tonnes GTO reusable or 8.3 tonnes expendable. a lot of commercial satellites are above the 4.5 tonnes GTO so LV3 isn't powerful enought. take for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SES-10 5.3 tonnes...LV3 simply isn't powerful enough.

reusable Falcon 9 get's a -10% discount as of right now, so that right there get's you $54 million dollars. 5.5 tonnes for $54 million is very competitive. think China charges like $70 million for LM3B and ProtonM+ is around that price as well if not more.

Falcon 9 block 5 is coming by the end of the year with 7% more thrust so the reusable GTO is probably more like 5.8 tonnes, and it's being improved it make it cheaper and faster to refurbish

if Elon can get the Falcon 9 block 5 reusable down to $45 million by 2019 that'll be yuuuuuuuuuge
