I suggested funding multiple ones.

China has multiple rocket startups now, they are not too successful.

Galactic energy has had 13/14 successful launches, how is that not successful?

Those are launches of small rocket flying on toxic hydrazine and capable of getting whopping 300 kg of payload into LEO. [0]

Ok? Aren’t you shifting goalposts now? Is rocket lab also not successful, because they only have 300 kg payload, too? And how does the toxicity of the fuel matter?

>Aren’t you shifting goalposts now?

No, but mentioning successful launches of a small disposable rocket in the context of conversation about replicating reusable Falcon-9 is shifting goalposts. Galactic energy, that you named, is only trying to develop its Pallas-1 rocket that resembles Falcon-9.

>how does the toxicity of the fuel matter

It's the technology of the previous century when the need to achieve strategic goals out-weighted a lot of safety concerns.
