THE NEW SPACE RACE: SpaceX matches global launch output. “In its quarterly briefing for Q4 2022, Bryce Technology reported that SpaceX lofted 142,300 kg into orbit during the fourth quarter of last year. China’s space program was in second place, with 69,900 kg, followed distantly by NASA, Roscosmos, and Arianespace. SpaceX’s cumulative total, consisting primarily of Starlink satellites, nearly matched the cumulative total of all other space agencies and companies in the world.”

It really is Musk vs. the world.
