They're the ones who were sent in to return two humans from the ISS after Boeing's ship malfunctioned last year. The explosions are typically from R&D projects; SpaceX is capable and practiced at transporting humans (and cargo) without their ships blowing up, and that's where most of their actual business currently is. (The Dragon is the vehicle they use for manned ISS missions.) | ||

SpaceX is by far and away the most capable organization on earth at taking all types of payloads to low earth orbit. | ||

SpaceX takes non-human payloads to low earth orbit every couple days. Over 100 in 2024. They regularly take human payloads, too. They’re the only American launcher currently able to do so. | ||
