US Space race financial thread
Discussion
Not quite as exciting as launches but still potentially quite explosive.

I can see why SpaceX might have a point about the money being sent to age old doyens of the USA military program, but Blue Origin? They still haven't gone orbital, and seem to be taking their time getting even one person on a sub orbital flight.
These launch contracts happening behind the scenes have a big impact of course on who will be still launching in the next few years. Going from 4 to 2 was never going to be a smooth ride.
Thoughts?
