Musk’s rockets don’t cost $4.1 billion. He also makes much less of a production in launching one.
Just saying.
They have light bulb takerer outers and light bulb screwer inners and then there are the ladder holders and the ladder carriers in and the ladder carriers out. Gooberment employees with full benefits and retirement. It is a bleeding miracle they can launch a rocket for $4.1 billion.
Oh, and there is also the line of gooberment defense type contractors lined up at the hog trough that must be fed.
