SpaceX Competition Is In! Find Out What Company It Is, To Launch Reusable Rockets (Video)

The United Launch Alliance is a private spaceflight company that is more or less a little under Elon Musk's SpaceX. Now, the ULA wants to prove that it can also be as competitive as SpaceX.

While SpaceX is lauding its Silicon Valley-style disruption of the commercial rocket market, ULA also proves its reliability.

CEO of the ULA Tory Bruno said that "Someday I expect the rest of the industry will become as reliable as we are." This throws some implications against the competition.

In a report by the Mashable, the ULA made a website RocketBuilder.com to let the probable customers or anyone who is interested in building a rocket they need to launch and whatever payload they have to a designated orbit.

Bruno added that "RocketBuilder not only educates our customers on the different launch service options and costs, it can also serve as an educational reference for students, teachers, or anyone with an interest in rockets and space.Ultimately, RocketBuilder will help drive down costs even further as customers are able to optimize the cost-effectiveness of their designs."

However, it will take weeks or even months for the customers to receive a proper estimate of the cost of the rocket launch coming from the ULA.

Nonetheless, the new web portal is not just providing great service to their customers. The ULA is anticipating to use the RocketBuilder as part of the company's bigger mission to be accessible in sending people to space.

The idea of ULA's image is to provide transparency. It is to let the people who are hoping to fly to space to see exactly how much they will be spending.

Bruno also mentioned that "It's really about that longer-term vision of seeing space become more available to people and more and more economic activity in space."

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos' space outfit Blue Origin and SpaceX also have looked at the goal of making space more open to the people who wanted to go there.

SpaceX and Blue Origin, however, have a little difference. None of those companies have created a web portal for their launches. But, they are both aiming for reusable rockets. As well as for the ULA, it is aiming for the reusable rockets especially with its new Vulcan program that is expected to fly in the coming years, according to Yahoo.
