Mass Producing Rockets Like Cars

China wants to mass-produce space rockets like cars

Inside China Business

I believe that SpaceX is already on that path, and I expect that many more could be as well.

So, China can stuff as much capitol into this as they want to, being the kind of government that they are.

SpaceX is apparently strongly considering a IPO to the Stock Market.

The government now seems to own 10% of Intel: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/t … at-to-know  Quote:

It is fairly obvious that if we believe that the space industry is going to be increasingly profitable, our government and other entities, even China perhaps may be able to buy SpaceX stock, or other space company stocks as a mechanism of wealth promotion and also as to some degrees have influence on company decisions.

So, this is a different route than NASA.  However, the government might give some control of share voting to NASA, maybe.
If the government were to invest in space companies, then this could strengthen our national financial situation, presuming the ideas of Data Centers and Space Based Solar Power, Etc. are actually going to be profitable.

I am guessing that Elon Musk and others have already seen this potential, but if not, they need to consider the future nature of things as they may become, if these companies trade on the stock market.

I think the situation will be mostly upside, but maybe others understand this more than I do.

So, this could put SpaceX, Blue Origin, others on steroids more or less to both gain the country financially and to promote advanced technology.

Is it possible that the root of political science claims is to produce white collar jobs for people who paid for an education and do not want a real job?
