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

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.

I wonder how it would actually play out. They would probably extend Falcon 9 and Dragon production indefinitely and descope Starship to the minimum needed for HLS? Then I would invest all my hope and prayers into Stoke pulling off full reuse?

An alternate meaning for the red, white and blue could have been US territories on Mars, the Moon, and Earth.
