I wish all arape countries did the same. They only oppress their own population but invites peacefully the rest of the world to invest there tax free. That’s how people can co-exist with the arapes. Of course they won’t be able to manufacture any rocket, but they pay for others to do it, and that’s good.

Even their Mars mission is I think mostly being built and launched by others

But what will their industry look like?

Purchasing services and products from others is exactly how a free market in space should operate. They don’t need to reinvent the wheel, just buy the wheel and use it for their own purposes. Operating like this means their capabilities will increase as the market’s capabilities increase.
