A founder explains how their team built a space station in six months for under $5 million, compared to competitors charging €55 million and taking four-plus years. Vertical integration and in-house talent, they argue, put them years ahead.
You're building a fucking space station. Absolutely. This incredible team. It's really all to do with the team and the amazing talent we have. But the other key is the timeline. We've seen these external vendors take 4 years or more to deliver it. We build them in 6 months here. Competitors are buying at €55 million. Our internal cost is less than $5 million. Who do you view as your main competitor? Time. Obviously, I'm very biased. The amount of technology we have under our control in-house developed, vertically integrated. I think we're years ahead of all our competition. But you can go see them and ask them.
