Is the idea here that this is new for outer space? There are ground based inflatable antennas that you can buy that have been around for a few years. I’ve heard a trade off with these is they aren’t very ridged so in windy conditions they

In my experience when a customer acts angrily they are often intentionally trying to do something wrong. In the case of innocent mistakes they are typically cordial.

“That is true today. Will it be true 50 years from now?” Almost certainly, unless the “we prefer everyone equally poor” brand of politics succeeds. The most insidious belief is that the system is some how rigged against you no matter what
