What SpaceX just did Completely HUMILIATED NASA's Scientists
In the race for space exploration, SpaceX once again demonstrates its groundbreaking vision and superior efficiency compared to traditional competitors like NASA. Instead of spending over 1 billion USD on a launch tower built over 10 years like NASA, SpaceX used only a tenth of that amount and time.
In today's episode of Alpha Tech, let's find out how SpaceX has completely HUMILIATED NASA!
Launchpads and launch towers are fundamental structures designed primarily to support the weight of rockets and provide a stable platform for takeoff. Therefore, if a rocket is considered an arrow, then the launch infrastructure complex is the bow and string; they must be extremely flexible and strong to ensure a successful launch. Similarly, for a rocket launch, the more efficiently the launch pad and tower work, the more certain the success of the launch.

Furthermore, if we look at the construction of a reputable, high-quality ground infrastructure that is also quick and cost-effective, the entire rocket development project will be halfway to success even before the rocket flies or has already flown.
However, not everyone can achieve this. NASA, the leading space agency in the United States, has spent several billion dollars on its rocket launch pad alone, but it does not fully guarantee stable operation, and there have been some unexpected malfunctions.
After all, only Elon Musk's private space company has managed to create a massive launch tower that can save costs for the first time.

As of February 2023, each SpaceX Mechazilla launch tower is estimated to cost under $100 million. This cost does not increase much with the water deluge system. The metal tower segments are not expensive, and the towers have robotic arms and the power to operate them.
Of course, to determine whether it works well or not, we must wait until SpaceX completes the “test flights” of Starship. Certainly, the Mechazilla launch tower will be an unrivaled launch infrastructure. Continuous repairs and upgrades are carried out through lessons learned from each launch, making the launch infrastructure increasingly reliable.
