There’s so much more to the private sector than tourism rockets! Consider:

• Cheap components that don’t work

• Cheap satellites that don’t work

• Cheap lunar landers that don’t work

• Pump-and-dump get-rich-quick schemes

I’ve absolutely been following some of the eurospace startups a lot more closely lately. The next time I switch jobs might be the first time I switch continents.
