"Sure Norway achieved ending ICE sales by using over $X billion of its oil money to distort the market. Yet only XX% of cars in Norway are EVs while petrol demand has only decreased by a couple of percentage points as most folks only make short trips with the EVs driving far more miles with the ICE autos.😊"

"Actually only three for the large commercial airliners that are the equivalent of launch vehicles. Boeing Airbus and United Aircraft Corporation (Russia). China is trying to break into the market with Comac but has a long way to go. Several focus on military aircraft and are heavily subsidized for that reason like governments giving ULA and Ariane contracts just to keep them in business. The rest of those firms produce small general aviation aircraft or commuter aircraft markets which dont exist in the launch industry"

"Yes and AI automation on Earth will be an even better competitive advantage than AI in space. Also AI will create an even larger advantage for the big mining firms over small prospectors on Earth while AI robotic systems when combined with biomining will open up numerous deposits to economically viable extraction. That is why there will be no economic demand on Earth for space resources. The wealth of space is going to come from information goods not physical ones"

"Actually there is. First forget about limited energy as nuclear reactors will make energy plentiful on the Moon. You arent going to industrialize the Moon or Mars with solar energy its simply not dense enough and subject to too many environmental variables. Also the Thule and Polynesians are the wrong models to use. You need to follow the models created by Issac Asimov and Dandridge Cole. Surface facilities on the Moon Mars and asteroids will be just transitionary steps to the mobile space communities they envisioned. Also space settlement is not about extending the resource base of Earth"

"Most industries only have room for 3-4 players. In space launch it will be SpaceX Blue Origin Rocketlabs and perhaps Firefly. More launch vehicles but from one of these suppliers. Launch demand will peak at the rate needed to build offworld communities with emigrants replacing cargo as space industrialization shifts to local materials for building the facilities needed. The market opportunity now is in developing the equipment needed to do the construction and hauling on the lunarmartian surface"
