SpaceX put a telescope with a mirror 10x the size of Hubble's at the Sun-Earth L2 point? I missed that bit of news, but impressive!

  You’re intentionally missing my point.

    Your point that government is bad at deploying capital, as evidenced by the fact that SpaceX accomplished something entirely unrelated during the delays on an incredibly ambitious project that no organization has ever undertaken?

      Yes, telescopes are not rockets, and they’re not satellites. But to say they’re entirely unrelated is silly. Even if a reusable rocket is 10x easier to build, it’s obscene to justify a 10 year delay.

        Easier things are easier, it's true.
