They save the most humorous bit 'till the end:<p>> The United Launch Alliance, a Boeing and Lockheed-Martin joint venture, is still awaiting similar approval [to launch top secret spy satellites] from the Space Force for its Vulcan rocket with engines made by Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, per Bloomberg's report.<p>One wonders how difficult & uncertain approval can really be, when the only (ongoing) competitor to your "3 of 3 launch success record" rocket is a never-flown rocket built around a never-<i>delivered</i> rocket engine.
