Commercial Launch Market Share
Because military launches will not be open to global bidding, the true measure of global competitiveness is market share in the commercial launch business.
The U.S. had 100% market share in 1980. For the past three years, it has been 0%. SpaceX launches on manifest for 2013-15 will reverse that trend.
