Nationalizing spacex would kill it. The way spacex was even able to built this satellite network with their own reusable rockets would have never happened with a government program. It would’ve costed 10x the proposed amount and taken 3x as long. This is just how nasa and space development has worked for decades. Do you think Starship would ever have been proposed? They are building 7 raptor engines a week now. Each raptor engine has the equivalent thrust to an RS-25 flying on SLS. The government is paying AJR $100 million each for each new RS-25.
