Unfortunately that company is the best hope we have to stay ahead. With their low cost they can monopolize the worldwide launch market(except Russia and China). So that funding, strategically, must continue.
What should also happen is funding spacex competitors, so we stay on the bleeding edge.
But hey we tried giving a shit load of money to a billionaire space nazi instead!
Won’t someone think of the investors!
Maybe we need to give more to the space phallus that the other asshole billionaire built. Maybe that’ll fix it.
You guys male me wanna cry…

Is China staying on the bleeding edge by funding a bunch of private companies?
China has privately held space companies, yes. They are funding them, yes.
