And that just chased away my cynical pessimism.  Thank you, Jake.

The key part of your observation is exactly that similarity.  Do you
realize that in just over forty years, we've gone from manned
suborbital flight being something a global superpower can barely do,
to manned suborbital flight being something a well heeled amateur team
can barely do?

That says something amazing about technology development, economic
growth, or both.
