Might also be a case of envy and sour gapes, and not reflect all that well on the Europeans saying that. This thread is full of people claiming Europeans are not boastful or self-promoting, which is pretty strange to me because the internet is full of Europeans boasting about how much better their countries allegedly are than the US about almost any subject you can think of. Healthcare, public transport, crime, politics, you name it. But you find one topic where US is unquestionably better than Europe (like rocketry), and all of a sudden it's a grave sin to boast about things, and the discussion turns into how much better Europe is at not being boastful. |

Not to mention that SpaceX only exists because of corruption at government level that resulted in contracts to SpaceX. Basically friend favours.
