Comparison of NASA and SpaceX SpaceX has become a rival to NASA. But how does SpaceX compare to NASA? NASA is taxpayer funded. And like other government agencies, it is over-budget and behind schedule. NASA had to outsource cargo resupply missions for the International Space Station to SpaceX so that we could stop relying on old Soviet rockets for the job. On April 21, 2021, it sent the first astronauts to the ISS. SpaceX is a perfect example of how companies can do things faster and better than a bureaucratic organization. This is why SpaceX and Blue Origin are competing to design the next generation Moon lander. SpaceX is superior to NASA when it comes to engineering. SpaceX is designing reusable rockets that can be made for a fraction of the cost of NASA’s rockets. This is similar to how the Gigafactory is making cheaper batteries than any green energy project funded by the state. Is there still a role for NASA? Some argue we need it because NASA can pursue pure scientific research.
