    Yeah, why aren’t regular folks building reusable heavy-lift rocket systems?

      Why cant scientific progress not be a group effort with everyone doing their part according to their means?

      Why does it have to be the greed addicts with the power to initiate human greatness and ingenuity?

      Don’t we all want essentially the same things?

      • sustainable production of (luxury) goods

      • sustainable power production

      • sustainable homes in a sustainable climate

      • to evolve as a species and explore more of the unknowns in the cosmos

      I wish we were, through taxes. Though we’d probably just pay Boeing forty-eleventy billion dollars to never complete the project.

        Some are, but they still don’t build rockets. I think there’s some other factor that’s important.
