i once met a chilean and he was like super fixated on how he was from "the best latin american country" and i was like yeah but its still shit, and he was all offended like no no no, our gdp is like half a point above peru or whatever.

I love when inferior fags think theyll ever escape the holy hyerarchy of the universe.

The US and China are pretty much at parity, China has launched two more but failed one more (29/27, 4/3). Russia only even factors in at 3rd place with 9 launches because no other country or group of countries has 70 years of preexisting spaceflight infrastructure.

They don't care about safety and have nothing to lose with guaranteed state funding. SpaceX is launching their own. Any chance of failure means loss of market position + cost over runs.

Company with billion dollar funding vs countries with trillion dollar funding.

Fuck you Elon, the entire thing is a psyop to black out the stars to eradicate our ability to ponder the universe whilst 4K BLACKED.COM porn is downloaded to your Neuralink implant and streamed to your subconscious and unwitting self.
