Re: Congratulations to SES and SpaceX
Or indeed the first time.
Masten, Armadillo (now Exos) and Blue Origin have put exactly nothing in orbit so far. Of them, only Blue Origin even hope to do so within the next few years.
NASA and SpaceX are currently the only entities to have ever re-used significant parts of an orbital space launch system.
The leap from suborbital to orbital is very significant.
