I agree with Stefan on this.
Across the pond (Noo Zuland
)they have put several payloads into orbit using home grown...well with the help of Monash Uni Aero-Engineering grads from Oz who couldn't use their skills here...anyway I digrress...using home grown 3D printed rocket engines.
Very clever stuff!
Meanwhile back in Oz....we have a Space bureaucracy with no actual launch capability....
