How many people actually voted third party? Looking at just the green party total votes, that can't have been enough to tip the election. Too many people stayed home, not enough were convinced by Harris' campaign.
Hard disagree. SpaceX has been pushing the envelope into reusable rocketry like nothing that's ever been seen before. They delivered their crew capsule years before Boeing, and Boeing's is still far from operational. If you ask me, the cost-plus contracts given to companies like Boeing are the real problem, and contributed to the SLS delays. That rocket will cost us billions of dollars per launch. Compare that to a few Falcon Heavy launches and see whose budget is overblown. At least with the fixed-price contracts given to SpaceX and Blue Origin, the taxpayer isn't on the hook for any delays or cost overruns. Plus, they're the only ones seriously building human-rated lunar landers. Yeah, I wish our space companies weren't in the hands of egotistical billionaires, but that is the world we live in.
