A funny comment from a post elsewhere: "And you know, it occurs to me that, by most key metrics, SpaceX by itself is a greater spacefaring power than Russia is now.

It’s not just that that they launch a lot more than Russia does. Theyhave a more capable and reliable orbital launch fleet. They have as many launch pads as Russia does. They can now launch humans into space, and more of them, too. They send cargo ships that deliver several times as much cargo per year as Russias Progress ships do. They have three times as many satellites in Earth orbit as Russia does!
