Also keep in mind, mander.xyz's rules on politics

Please keep politics to a minimum. When science is the focus, intersection with politics may be tolerated as long as the discussion is constructive and science remains the focus. As a general rule, political content posted directly to the instance’s local communities is discouraged and may be removed. You can of course engage in political discussions in non-local communities.

Amazon: The FCC says we have to launch half our constellation by next year. What rockets y'all got?

SpaceX: We'll sell you as many Falcon 9 launches as you want!

Amazon: Haha, we wouldn't buy launches from you unless our board forced us to! Any other offers?

Blue Origin: We have New Glenn, but it isn't ready yet.

ULA: Best we can do is nine Atlas Vs. We have Vulcan too, but it isn't ready yet.

Arianespace: Oui oui, nous avons une fusée pour vous.

Amazon just bought another 10 Falcons. I wonder if that was to appease shareholders or the FCC.
