It is though, when you have a fixed budget, even at planetary scales.

Are we still talking about private enterprises, not space agencies?

  • They are indeed private companies, being subsidised by space agencies.

    • Are they being subsidized the same way my employer subsidizes my lifestyle?

      If I sell steel, grain, boots, or launch services to the government and that gives me profits that I invest into some aspect of my business, I’m not sure that “subsidized by” is the clearest term.
