    If it weren't for the finely ground axe and excessive patriotism that would be a fantastic video to share round. It has the makings of a good 'state of newspace' documentary.

      It was made for US domestic consumption, mainly to put pressure on Congress to support NewSpace. Stuff like that tends to wave the flag a bit.

      OTOH, many moves in NewSpace are international; Boeing and others courting India & other countries to buy their CST-100 etc. capsules/spaceplanes instead of designing their own, Bigelow signing up nation-customers to use their CSS Alpha/Beta/.... stations, and SpaceX offering launchers from light to the massive F9H - and possibly the Falcon X & Falcon XX - to all takers.
