Yes commerce has slowed down considerably. Employees who are forced to submit to this or lose employment, even though they may know or suspect it’s a bogeyman, there are those who nonetheless resent folks who can defy this tyranny and remain solvent.

Of course C19 restrictions have slowed things down, and subcontractors suffer for it.
I will be glad when men and women come to their senses and see through this ruse of C19 to squelch enterprise, worldwide.

Is 2021 going to be a breakout year, or will there be another decade of nice presentations and slow, incremental progress?

I want to believe in Sierra Nevada; I like some of their efforts. They do have good engineers. Still, SpaceX is not waiting and the Chinese certainly will not wait. In that, I find hope. Boeing could upsize the X-37b by 2022 or even just re launch. So maybe sometime in 2022 Sierra Nevada will launch and the world will look upon it as if some third world person builds an airplane from parts found in an automobile junkyard. Obsolete, quaint, pathetic. Sierra Nevada is on the US All Star team; sad if that is the best we can do.
