i mean seriously, if starship succeeds who the fuck cares what other space agencies do:
Nasa: 5 billion dollars to put send another thermometer to uranus, it arrives in 50 years. Oh and also 150 billion dollars to get a man to orbit the moon in 70 years(if all goes well)
Roscosmos: 130.000.000 trillion rubles to launch a crewed LEO rocket that isnt the basedus... thats it
China: exactly same as nasa in half the budget double the time.
Every other public and private provider: we managed to make a new micronano sat that can fit 15% more gender neutral pronouns, if the crowdfunding succeeds we will put it in orbit.
Spacex: fucking what do you want? 1 million to the moon? how about 500 million to the moon? 200 million to the moon? 500 million to mars, crewed, multiple manned space stations and bases around moon, mars, mars moons and venus. probes to the fuck of fucks, for 1/100 nasas budget theyre gonna send 50 times more probes each year than every other country launched ever, and the probes will be bigger faster and better, they will very soon grow tired of sending probes when theres nothing else to map.
holy sheet how can compete
