Yes. I agree.
However, they took loads of government money to get there in the first place. Period.
Loads of it.
Winning contracts is not the same as taking loads of money. It’s a contract for rendering a particular service. ULA takes loads of money every year to simply exist whether they launch or not. SpaceX is the only thing that has come along that might change that paradigm. You should be celebrating them, not vilifying, instead you’re towing the ULA party line because they line the pockets of Republicans instead of Dems. Pathetic.
