Yes.  I have been fairly sporadic about keeping my scorecard up to date.  One of these days I will have to do the searches you recommend, Robert, and make it a better card, and I should also keep including the various new (and old) industries on the card.  As Col Beausabre noted, it is getting pretty complex, now that space is becoming commercialized.  It is like trying to keep track of all the new razor companies out there: 
Jeremy&#039;s Razors to replace Harry&#039;s Razors when it went woke, which was supposed to replace Gillett when &lt;em&gt;it &lt;/em&gt;went woke.  
https://rumble.com/vy85lz-jeremys-razors-stop-giving-your-money-to-woke-corporations-that-hate-you..html (4 minutes -- caution: one NSFW word)

(If the hateful woke think that boys aren&#039;t boys and girls aren&#039;t girls then &lt;em&gt;which &lt;/em&gt;boys do they think aren&#039;t boys and &lt;em&gt;which &lt;/em&gt;girls do they think aren&#039;t girls?  Where did the tautology fail?)]]></description>

Edward: Your list is incomplete. You need to do some searching on BtB. To help, go to my global launch report at the start of the year. It lists all the companies that hoped to launch last year. Search for them all to see their status this year.

As for tugs, search for tugs and orbital to get a more complete list. Similarly, for space stations search for station commercial. Should get you the links to all the stations under construction or planned.]]></description>
