VADR is an IDIQ for which up to $1B is authorized to be spent on up to 16 launch providers and brokers. The SpaceX FFP task order is just for one launch for Starburst. Based on Space Force having just bought 18 Falcon 9 launches for $1.6B, this order is probably only $100M. The other $900M is still up for grabs by any of SpaceX, ULA, Relativity, RocketLab, Blue Origin, Firefly, NGC, and some others I’m not familiar with.

My guy, you must be new here! What you state is not rocket science, these companies hire some of the smartest people on the planet. They already know all of this. The banning of Chinese EV's are largely to protect the manufacturing base (or what's left of it). These are largely blue collar workers that vote against their own good. The US is by far the strongest car market in the world, and generates enormous amounts of Cash Flow. I see this as very similar to the Agriculture market, where the tax payer money is being used to heavily subsidize the American farmer to keep the voting block happy. (The US could literally pay the soy bean farmer to not grow their crops, and that would be cheaper than the amount of money currently being spent on the subsidies)

I do not like most blue collar workers. They can wire a fucking data center but can't figure out how to put an attachment on an email. Wild stuff

automakers in the US directly lead to 5-7% of the entire US workforce It’s a major source of decent white collar middle class, and blue collar union jobs. There is no way to compete on Chinese pricing without millions of people taking massive paycuts and going into poverty or switching fields entirely. Never mind that China does not exact play fair..(who does). But in this example… A US company who provides auto parts and tooling is forced spend hundreds of thousands a year on software licenses. In China they can just download it and not pay without risk of repercussions. I personally had a coworker who went to China on a business trip and had the Chinese counterpart put a cad software on his laptop that flagged once it reached the US and got the company sued for 6 figures. Wages and cost of business are much higher in the US. The two cannot compete on an even playing field. The only thing the US can do is protect its manufacturing industry by not allowing Chinese cars to be sold here. Manufacturing is a critical field. In times of war or general world termoil it is critical to be able to produce your own items required for your population to live. Destroying an entire manufacturing base to get cheap cars is short sighted.
