SpaceX alone was responsible for 98 of the 109 launch attempts made by the US in 2023, and 1,937 of the 2,234 US satellites successfully orbited.

But rather than the US government it is one US company, billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX, responsible for that victory

All else being equal, and left to its normal devices, US Government is as corrupt, bloated and inefficient as any government in the world. Often, its worse, because in Asia, they at least have shame culture, and moreover we have cultivated extreme entitlement and narcissism among our ruling elites.

Its NEVER been the case that government is responsible for the advances of this country, or its power and wealth. it has always been civil society and private enterprise.

SpaceX is not only the world’s leading provider of orbital launch services, it is also its own largest customer. Most of those 1,937 satellites are Starlink sats.

Elon Musk is someone who will be studied by schoolchildren hundreds of years from now.

He’s truly an impressive person.

We won’t remember the other billionaires.
