Зы.  К тому же "обычная космическая фирма" меньше человеческих ресурсов расходует на новые проекты.

В 2011 году пуск был согласно плану? :wink:

Ну и что? Произойдет сдвиг вправо на год - 2014 год станет 2015, планы тоже ничего так.
SpaceX, в отличие от многих других компаний, много ресурсов тратит на освоение технологий, потому прямое сравнение количества пусков на тысячу человек по разным фирмам не совсем корректно.
