> Perhaps learn to look around the world. Europe has nothing, China is working on copying. New Zealand has RocketLab but looks like they've sold out to the states and is only for small payloads yet.

And which of those is also an American institution, with American educated employees and American cultural values, operating in an American legal and business framework?

Pretending NZ is a relevant comparison point is laughable. I bet SpaceX is also doing better than the 5th grade STEM class down the street!

Russia would've been a much better comparison given the history of the world we live in, but still not apples to apples.
