2/3rds of active satellites in space have been launched by SpaceX. 120,000 text messages from otherwise disconnected people and first responders in LA fires. Almost all climate monitoring satellites in space.

Tell me, how does one build groundwater containment walls on a beach? Make suggestions that are serious and I'll respond to them. I think fundamentally we have a values difference -- I think going to space is worth some costs and you, evidently, do not

There are no counterexamples. Blue Origin started before SpaceX and just launched an orbital class rocket. ULA has no reusability plans at all. Ariane can barely launch a vega-c every two years at 10x the cost. SLS spent more than the cost of Starship building a launch tower.
