James Risen at Guardian says:
“[SpaceX] is seeking to overcome the edge held by United Launch Alliance [], a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the traditional giant in the niche.”

LMAO, what “edge” does the ULA have over SpaceX?

The lawyer, journalist, managerial class really have no clue about the state-of-the-art in spaceflight. SpaceX is 90% of the world’s annual orbital upmass.

If my political faction is all the military aged men, and the rival faction is just women and old people… then I can actually do a coup to seize power and dispense with elections/lawyers.

South Korea has recently went through multiple coups and autogolpes.
