3 billion is a lot of money to pay for getting nothing, so yeah. I’ll change my tune when I actually see HLS, instead of the money being spent on developing another LEO lifter

Do you know how you get new things? Not by not researching them? You should see the amount of money the US government alone has spent on fusion, and still nothing. Look at the money DARPA has spent! Sure, we got the internet, among others, but these people got the money before there was a finished product! And some of those projects failed!

  And we, worldwide already have plenty of LEO lifters. Why do you want another, when the government can just pay for one?
