A comment on How Airbus Took Off. Parent comment
Anything about guaranteed launch is an outright lie. Not ignorance.
For those who don't know, the DOD didn't finance SpaceX or Starlink or reusability.
This claim is total nonsense that started as Russian propaganda.
You'll notice the DOD refused to finance Starlink in Ukraine when they were asked to.
So much for subsidies.
SpaceX was all customer and investor funded.
Starlink was funded by Google and Fidelity.
Reusability was funded via income.
Ariane is the provider with subsidies. In the past it was ULA.
