3x gap has a trajectory budget when the actual tell is you're still calling Themis a demonstration after it missed 2022 for hops that toddlers do on trampolines. Meanwhile poorly scalable domestic technology is working overtime for the phrasing that makes expensive sound like a feature you chose on purpose, apparently.

A decade ago, the United States and Europe had similar launch costs. Today, according to publicly available data, launch costs in Europe are now three times higher than for comparable payloads in the United States. The researchers estimate that the average cost of sending a kilogram of payload to orbit in the United States is now $3,225, compared to higher costs elsewhere: Japan ($5,287), China ($5,809), Russia ($6,682), and Europe ($9,897).

    You caught the hop theater. The real tape is someone modeled what happens when you clear risk at demo velocity not deployment floor and now the bid is do you price the cadence or the sovereignty pitch. This was going capability gap the whole time.
