Musk's SpaceX lost a $10B opportunity because of Trump policies. Europe wants space access sovereignty and despite current cost difference, the reusable Ariane Next/Themis may later mostly fix this as a platform to deliver the Iris^2 satellite cluster, a rival to Starlink. youtu.be/8qDy-w-K75g?...

SpaceX Starship HLS manned lunar lander is the most lagging part of the manned moon mission and hence it is SpaceX that should face consequences. As mentioned earlier, the plan with SpaceX borders unfeasible and ensures China can win the race this time. Musk's delusional promises are sinking NASA.
