SpaceX is not just a technology problem. It's a sales and marketing problem. You're not selling to the mass market, you're selling to a government. You need to convince people with power to buy your product. If they don't, your business can't get off the ground.

If you're interested in the realitiesof running a modern rocket company, I highly recommend the book "Financing the New Space Industry." It talks about marketing and other aspects.

"We're 10x cheaper" is great marketing.
