    Uh… Sputnik?

    to the commercial market

    Why is the commercial market important?

      Correct, the Soviets launched the first basic satellite. They haven’t accomplished much since the 70s though and none of it translated to the commercial market. I won’t knock them for having a solid system that could fill the gap post-shuttles. Their adversion to solid fuel rockets also has merit.

      The commercial market is the public market. Not sure why I’d have to explain that level of importance.

        You don’t have to, I’ve simply asked you to.

        that level of importance

        What level of importance? You haven’t explained any level of importance.
