It is rather incredible how dominant Falcon 9 is in the current launch market.

My only hope is that Musk's bullshit doesn't drag SpaceX down. Shotwell has that company running well.
It should be nationalised. SpaceX is providing critical infrastructure for the US/NATO. Having it run by a private, for-profit entity is a security risk. Musk has already proven this by cutting off Starlink access for Ukrainian offensive operations.
Oh my goodness no. Private spaceflight is the future because it's not nationalized. Can you imagine Congress cutting off SpaceX simply because they don't see its use? I'm a big fan of NASA, but they would've been on Mars by now had they not been run by the government.
An alternate meaning for the red, white and blue could have been US territories on Mars, the Moon, and Earth.
