Have to say one might need a Musk style purge of the Australian Space Agency...of whom I've been doing a little poking about to see what they have achieved with their $2 BILLION budget to date.
First up, Zero launch capability so far.
Another pearler is allocating:
"$65.7 million over five years from 2021–22 to set the conditions for rocket launches from Australia and fast track the launch of space assets"
Now to give this some perspective, the Kiwi's (bless 'em) have got the cost
of their Neutron heavy lift vehicle (circa 15,000kg) down to $50 million and are undercutting Space X (the space-Uber service preferred by ASA) significantly.
Meanwhile the seagulls (a term of endearment about admin pilots from my flying days: they'll only fly if you throw rocks at them) at ASA are pondering
the "conditions for rocket launches"
Sorry...getting a little worked up: need to have "Bex and a lie down"
(younger readers might need to Google that
)
